You can open a business bank account, sign contracts, and handle expenses under the company’s name, keeping everything clean and organized.

Turned out that the house had been owned by a family who lived there forever and ran a small beauty salon out of the house, so one of the bedrooms had been turned into the hair salon and the dining area turned into a foyer.

Sewer Cabling/Drain Cleaning: When there's a blockage, usually paid by the owner unless the tenant caused it.

For when the house is vacated, cleaned up, and rent ready.

Before listing it, I had lots of expenses, including painting, floor refinishing, plumbing repairs, staging, cleaning, etc.In a 1031 exchange, I purchased two small multifamily homes which also have some roof work, painting, plumbing, etc. 

b) I was initially thinking short-term rental, which is where that surge of requests came from but it feels like a lot of work as I would be doing the turns/cleaning for most part so what are the pros-cons of mid-term? 

Then you also have it for the cleaners as needed.Then I would schedule some time for you to head over and do a full deep clean on the carpets yearly if they don't get messed up in between.

You can also rent Yurts, treehouses, or your own RV on the platform for more than a bare campsite, but that gets into too much cleaning and upkeep for the spirit of it.

I am not sure about what you are reflecting in the cleaning number but for me 1) it is shocking what cleaners charge but it is not where you want to try to save money for quality 2) it is a pass through, the guest pays it. $250 per turn would be for larger unit and very good job.  

That 'other' land trust company absolutely blew it on the closing process causing us all to lose some hair during that period, but we did exit the deal with a great profit.
