Vacationers are starting to go back to hotels as Airbnb fees have increased and they don't want to deal with cleaning dishes on top of paying cleaning fees.We stayed in a nice vacation rental on the Oregon Coast and there was evidence that kids or homeless were hanging about when it was vacant.  

I use Resort Cleaning and it links perfectly to Hospitable to automate my cleaners.Ultimately though, all 3 platforms are excellent and will do what you need them to do.

She realizes after we paid her and contractors she hired over $5,000 to get it painted , cleaned etc that we are out of money and she agreed to not charge us anymore but is still somewhat helping us and showing to potential renters .We have discussed different terms as I told her from her on out we can’t afford the monthly rate anymore .  

2/3 of the units are singles/studios, so generally higher turnover, causing higher fees for clean outs and lease ups, etc, etcRecently had to get a "fire rated" door to the roof replaced from some city inspection, the first  bids were $3800-$4500, but with the right contractors and a little of my own time and motivation, i got the job done for less than $1500 and 12 hours of my time, and it had 2x the fire rating than the city required.

It was the owner of the house and a couple of neighborhood teens who handled the demo and clean up.

I will say we generally have no trouble keeping ours full and we focus on having nice, clean, safe spaces.

Sure when it is clean a dark color looks much better however it also shows dust and dog hair a lot more.

Exterior maintenance such as pressure wash and gutter cleaning, these times we take care of them and usually at turnover.

Cleaning carpet and paitning is all that is needed.btw. 

Make it clean, de-risk the exchange process and simply your costs for the exchange.
