It would obviously eat into the returns but it would possibly keep the property a bit cleaner and also, if you have a good relationship with the cleaners, maybe get some inside info on how the property is being kept up.Pretty sure no one will think this is a good idea, and I don't really either, but it came to mind and I thought I'd ask the BP community.

One with a personal loan and one with a traditional mortgage from a bank, except one is a whole lot cleaner of a transaction on the buy end.

That will provide me a much cleaner picture.

We are working on creating a walk through for cleaner to make sure she checks things to ensure they are not broken.

(I am trying to find a cleaner, but I can't find one at reasonable rates i.e. cheaper than $60 / day).  

YA NEED to Rekey the locks,, that's what a REAL... landlord does.Tenants can lock the door and leave keys under a rock for all I care,, or in mail box, or slip one spare under the door and leave the rest on the counter. or at my office or if they forgot they can mail them..As far as meeting them and doing final walk thru,, it's possible but If I do I always say the cleaners have the final check after the maintenance guy checks so from my stand point I'm letting you know there will,, be cleaning charges,, or their might be ,, or the apt is outstanding and won't be cleaning charges,, the other items will take longer to go over and how much time do you have,, if they want to touch something up ,, I might let them if the new tenant isn't there and we still have time to let them otherwise I just say sorry.. last call and start snapping photos'..

I have an auto-emailer that updates the cleaners and myself every time there is a new booking.

I gave him some cleaner and told him, I would check back in 3 months to see if it was stopped. 

Here is what I would do:   If the property is accessible to where you live (Ventura CA),  then go to Home Depot, rent a carpet cleaner and volunteer to do this yourself.  

You can purchase mold cleaner solution from the hardware store.
