Most of my renters choose #1 because it provides a clean break.I document everything and I don't accept the early termination notice or start the clock until they pay the termination fee. 

Prefer keeping this kind of stuff behind closed doors if possible and sorting it out without revealing dirty laundry.I would have been in the same boat as many other turnkey providers that are no longer around if I didn't focus on limiting how much business I take on.And even with my stupidly strict criteria, we still copped the brunt of the sword.Business is business and people are people, sometimes things just don't work out.It's a true shame but such is life.I always want whats best for everyone and for every deal to work out and for everyone to succeed.With the best intentions, mistakes are still made.Those that work hard and do their best, will also make mistakes unfortunately.Again, I sleep in peace and whenever I F@#$ up, it's an honest mistake so crucify me all you want.Thank God, never been sued and back round is squeaky clean and I intend to keep it that way.Less is more and when crisis does arise (It always eventually does no matter how much you prepare and do your best), we can hopefully rectify and do our best to fix.For example, just had an investor loose $50,000 on a deal and the next few deals we are working for free for this investor.We don't have to do this, we want to...Not sure how we would be able to accommodate such an instance if I had 50+ investors loosing that much so I guess my stringent on-boarding criteria has saved our A$$ for 10+ years now.Granted, I'm burnt out on folks and have pulled back even more from doing our "measly" 4-5 turnkey deals per month and have decided to focus on just building my own portfolio.Like I initially intended when I moved to this country in 2012.Thanks mate and keep being great

If you spend it now, you lose your leverage for the rest of the lease, and you'll have nothing to handle unpaid rent, cleaning, or repairs after termination.You are starting down a dangerous path.

Most experienced people are limited by deal flow, so you offering to bring them deals could be a huge value add to them.And while you are working to meet investors and source deals, I would be doing everything to clean up your credit.  

Besides your rent, your cleaning fee should be the largest expenses for your normal operation.

For example, I have a property that was announced as a grant funding development for 2025, along with the need to buy neighboring lots to clean up the land. 

The area is loaded with men on 1-2 year contracts who have homes some where else and they just need 1-2 years of safe, clean, comfortable housing and the only other option is seedy hotels.  

The title company will make sure the title is clean.

Trying to keep this as clean as possible. 

Do you have people ready to repair and clean the place lined up as soon as the last tenant leaves?
