I also have a monthly cleaner, really helps keep the peace depending on how strict your common area rules are! 

He then recommended my airbnb cleaner, landscaper, multiple handymen and more to help me manage the property. 

Of course he charges an extra $79 a month and that's exactly what the cleaners get (volume). 

I usually leave a welcome card with things like a 2-pack of HVAC filters, the assorted pack of furniture felt pads so they don't scratch my floors with their furniture, stainless steel spray or special cooktop cleaner if needed so they know I want them to use the recommended product.

I have had the same cleaner for about a year, and she has been good to me.

I just think the house will look cleaner without the carport and will free up money for another half bath in the basement which is desperately needed.

The other cabins which are much lower elevations, I am having cleaners, leave faucets dripping, cabinets under sinks open, and asking guests to do the same as it hits those low temps.

I would skip this one and move on to a cleaner deal. 

In the event that they do not maintain cleanliness, there is a clause that allows me to hire a professional cleaner and at the tenants expense.

Purchase price: $395,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Contributors: James Dainard I purchased this right as the Short-Term-Rental market had a big reset.AirBnb cancelled all of their bookings due to the pandemic and the previous owners decided to get rid of this unit.I took it down on an owner-occupied loan then converted it into an STR once I hit that 1yr mark.The unit is only on AirBnb for now.The manager handles all of the bookings, inquiries, cleaners and check-in/check-outs and will be eventually starting his own website for repeat bookings to decrease the amount paid to AirBnb year after year.The building (Belltown Court) is one of very few in Seattle that allows STR's and requires that all guests be given a tour of the building as well as a rundown of the rules.This investment is entirely passive thanks to my manager, at this point I'm racing to 20% equity to get PMI taken off and increase the cashflow.
