Got this one for 30K, only needed floors and kitchen redone.

Real estate investing has a floor... the land+.  

If tenants say they want new flooring, then we have to put in new flooring, even if damage was tenant caused.

Property was sitting on market and needed light updates (roof, flooring, paint) but was in a great area that allows STRs giving me multiple options when deciding on rental strategy How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The BAM family is very well rounded with a clean track record. 

I’m just thinking I need to start at a clean slate.

Short term will make you more money, but require a lot more management (new tenant every 3 days, turn over, cleaning, etc).  

Put language in your lease about use of the screen for all fires.I always made it the tenant's responsibility to have the chimney cleaned at least once per year for the built in fireplaces and twice per year for the store bought types as they have smaller chimney piping.  

We used to provide washer and dryer, but tenants washed greasy, oily work clothes leaving the washer unusable until cleaned, or clogged the pump requiring disassembly to remove obstruction.  

House is cleaned out  and ready for work to be done.
