@Kristin Boekhoff to add to the great input from @Jason Taken:1) To save money, you really want to clean as little as possible.

I know people that are really good at their trade (plumbing, cleaning, electrician, etc) but they don't have financial discipline, they don't know how to market, they suck at customer service, they don't use tools to their advantage, etc.Cody Sanchez (lady in the video) buys different types of businesses and makes them profitable by applying basic business disciplines.

There's not enough evidence to tell me which way I would go.The pictures indicate that the last tenant didn't clean.

For as much as attorney's charge, they should be able to answer this question.The deposit can be used for cleaning, repairs, and unpaid charges.

It's middle class, low crime, clean & zoned in one of the top desirable High schools.

@Devin James What I am hearing from a lot of buyers is they’re tired of the grey/white combo and personally I can’t stand it as well but I love what you did with the floors, this is a very clean look and I actually like what you did here.

So for the conservative busy professional that just wants to buy a clean house that is the attraction to turn key..

Who is responsible for cleaning the construction site and keeping public walk ways free and clear of construction debris since you are in CA without the ability to monitor the site?

Never had an issue in 5 years of this when tenants have moved out I just send my house cleaner in for a deep clean NO turn over costs other than that.
