If your budget is so tight that you can't handle a small leak, what will happen when a tenant fails to pay the last month of rent and abandons the property with $6,000 in cleaning and repairs?

You hired cleaners to clean the unit between tenants?

Seems clean, visually appealing and somewhat updated.

If you choose not to show up, he would almost certainly be awarded a judgement.Of course, you could choose not to pay the judgement, but then he can send it to a collections agency and your credit score will be trashed.I don't see a scenario here where you get through this cleanly.  

We’ve found that traveling healthcare professionals are typically great tenants—responsible, clean, and reliable.

Tell them to get out in seven days, use the deposit for unpaid rent, cleaning, and repairs.

So does he really not need affiliates and referral partners (or) is he just cleaning house (or) is there where he goes full ponzi scheme? 

In 2019 my mission beach units had average revenue minus cleaning of ~$80k.  

We do some cosmetic improvements to bring homes to our standard, typically carpet and paint, upgrade lighting etc.

I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc.
