I'm not happy with my current cleaners and having trouble finding a company with enough time to take on a new listing.

Perhaps a cleaner to come clean the place for the first month?

We are happy to give advice, assistance, and contacts for great cleaners and the like.Wish you the best. 

Personally, a slightly cleaner way would be to make notes in your bank system (if it allows you), or make electronic notes on the pdf statements you can download. 

I just happened to come across it and figured I would add my 2 cents in case anyone else has the same question.I use the folks over at Pristine Carpet Cleaners.  

I fired them when they admitted that they had never set foot in the house to view it or inspect the work of their cleaners and maintenance people.

and we have a cleaner locally that also acts as our local presence (as now required by statute).  

A lease option with a limited time frame will help motivate and looks like a cleaner transaction.If you are holding longer term you can do a Adjustable Rate loan but DF requires it to be fixed for 5 years and then it can only go up 2% a year (Max) for a total increase of 6% (Max) so it would take 8 years to hit the top rate.Either way I would not make a seller financed loan without getting the buyer qualified by a LMO.If you are selling to an investor then DF does not apply.

It has to be the right fit and make sense from an investment standpoint.The best way to get in touch with competent plumbers, cleaners, maintenance, etc while self managing is to get in touch and work with a competent Realtor that specializes in overnight rental cabins and/or one of the groups on Facebook/Bigger Pockets, etc that are primarily self managing their cabins and offer recommendations in the various industries  necessary to operate a STR from out of state.The cabins we own (and have owned) are a variety in size so I can try to lend some advice on the advantages/disadvantages of each.

So I want to come back and start here.I currently am a part time employee at a Dry Cleaners and an Uber Driver in the Northern Peninsula.
