Property manager said it would gross around 5k on average but after paying their fee and cleaners and my utilities its the same as LTR.

It will be far cleaner to operate.

Hey folks, For the large management groups, have you brought cleaners in house and paid hourly verses using sub contractors?

Dealing with people getting along is something that comes with renting by the room but vetting the tenant to make sure they are a good fit can help minimize this.Getting a house cleaner every two weeks would help minimize people not getting a long.

Have you created your A team of financial, legal, RE mentors, growth consultants, cleaners and contractors, etc?

I tried vinegar/baking soda, dollar store cleaners, and Woolite (worked, but would need way too many bottles for the house to make this cost effective).Do those $50 Home Depot carpet steam cleaners work well?

Example of tasks I’m looking for areWhen: pre-closingcategory: designTask: research on interior designerWhen: post-closingcategory: team buildindTask: find cleaner and backup cleanerThe above are example tasks and not meant for discussion.

Cleaners - we paid them a contract price per clean, which included labor for laundry and materials for cleaning (clorox/windex/floor cleaner etc.).

It's made those decisions on whether to host a guest with no reviews a lot easier when you know you have recourse to deduct their deposit if they misbehave.Get a good cleaner who communicates with you. 

The black appliances look cleaner after use and getting black appliance paint to touch it up blends better than trying to touch up white appliances.Another option is to try to rent it without appliances and give the tenants a one time credit for bringing their appliances and then they are responsible for it for the duration of their lease.
