You need to do more than a day of fixups - painting, carpet steam cleaned, cleaning all drawers and appliances, exterior touchups.You have a "perfect" process set out, but it's one that will push you to make a bad tenant decision and not vet them properly.

Exterior PaintThe home has a concrete foundation wall that extends about 3 feet up before the siding starts.

Are they an executive, an employee on 6-month business travel, etc.?

Sounds like a cool idea though...the only place I've seen them is outside the US on Travel channels and such.

The home was a big interior and exterior clean up with minor construction.

I have had travel nurses, medical students, and military members stay for multiple months in some of my STRs. 

#2 - Larger 5-bedroom renovation into a sweet rental home Before Pictures (Zillow Link)After Pictures (Airbnb Link)These investors took something that was very boring and extremely residential-looking and transformed it into a cozy retreat for travelers with highlights being adding wood paneling, kitchen renovation, new furniture throughout, beautiful outdoor space with added hot tub and fire pit spaces for guests to hangout and an exciting game room space to occupy guests for hours. 

However, the reason why my partner is only putting the money is because he's constantly traveling 80% of his time and he lives in a different state than I do.

I will be traveling across the US to a better housing market, I have access to the MLS for every state which is cheaper than hiring a realtor and will make my journey better and faster.Also I have no income I live on disability and invest that into stocks, I worked a few months in IT and saved everything and quit so I could buy time.

Are there public right of ways that are your responsibility and frequently traveled by guests or passersby?
