It is super clean and actually very well kept.  

got a great deal (131k) on a sfh worth 220-230 all fixed up.The thing is it is actually in really good condition and clean.

I am trying to get crystal-clear on what is required to make sure my Airbnb (currently operating in Milwaukee County near the corner of 48th St and Washington) is 'clean' in the eyes of the local government.

Remind her that you’ll return the full security deposit if the house is clean and all trash removed.

Then I was able to clean up the upstairs and get new renters there with a higher rent as well.Feb 2019, purchased my second duplex for $77,000 off market.

It makes it hard to compare when trying to gauge an ARV.Is this them just cleaning up their database / housekeeping etc?

Just make it clean, safe, and modern looking (grey paint, newer floors, etc) and you will be fine. 

I’ve even heard that STRs can be returned to the landlord in better shape than long term rentals due to frequent cleaning and the guests generally taking care of things so that they will be rated highly.

Have you tried cleaning stucco on the inside of a house?
