I would use cleaning services but it's my understanding I could use more than one company over the course of the year to limit how many hours one company spends on it.I'm looking into a utilitarian STR more for business travelers, so this won't be one where everything is perfect, it's bound to accumulate wear and tear I think.The STR would be out of state, but I plan to travel there for probably two weeks a year where I would perform many repairs myself.

The other things to keep in mind utilities, cleaning before/after (fee, does it need to be dictated?)

A 32-year-old would never insult a politician in person, but they have no problem getting nasty from the safety of mom's basement.If profiles were verified and public, then we would clean things up a bit.

Perhaps one level is just to clean up the unit and install new appliances.

Booked every night for a month, doesn't even cover the mortgage, let alone the cleaning fees and maintenance of the pool, etc. and if you have a property manager, you have to be cashflow negative. 

I have some cleaning and repairs that need to be done in the empty unit along with the common area. 

Most loan packages include something you sign that says that you will cooperate with them to correct any technical errors like this and I believe it also includes the ability for them to sign for you if you don't but obviously they prefer to have clean paperwork where you have signed it. 

Site cleaning is consistently understated in rehab construction budgets. 

Probably another $100-$200 for cleaning unless you plan to do it. 

It's been a struggle.I'm definitely not giving up on real estate investing and just need to clean house for a better result.
