I have been all over the world and tour investment markets regularly throughout the US.

Offer to give them their full deposit in cash on move-out day, if they leave the place clean and empty, etc.  

More like  2X to 5X the cash out.. these are done with builder developers on their deals So put out 300k get 300k back in profit plus the interest rate. most small builders/ developers need to have a equity partner so you just do both you lend the money and are the equity partner.. pretty clean..

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.  

If a repair will take longer than expected, update them regularly.3.Surveys and Feedback: After a maintenance issue is resolved, follow up with tenants to ensure they’re satisfied.

If there are changes you want to make then send your tenants official notice of those changes via in person delivery or certified and regular mail along with a copy of the new lease.

Working the regular 9-5 is okay but I just want more.

Whether it’s Christmas morning or a regular weekday, acting quickly can be the difference between closing a deal and losing it to someone else.The holidays often feel like a time to slow down and relax, but in real estate, urgency wins.

Build a local team for cleaning and repairs to streamline operations.

Of course it needed some extra turnover work--landscaping, above ground pool removal, cleaning, trash removal, paint and other small amounts of wear and tear.
