Thanks @Chris Seveney that's where I am leaning as well, keep it clean because I don't think its possible to revalue 50% assets that I buy and keep mine at same basis.

I pictured a management company that handled rent collection, cleaning service, etc..

How clean and safe is the neighborhood?

I am sure there are lots of "fuzzy" ways to compensate them but this seems like a clean one. 

But you also have to subtract utilities, turn costs, starting items (kitchen and cleaning items you give them), and furnishing upkeep/maintenance.

I just clean out units , mow grass and snow plow.  

The STR in my primary residence is actually an apartment that I don’t live in and I have a cleaning staff for that house anyway.  

He has someone clearing it out and is mostly vacated now leaving pretty clean actually.. so all good i guess, just have to start the screening process and hope to fill for Nov 1st.Thanks again

I already a have installed a couple in the past and I spend about $225 on each for annual flushing and cleaning.

I didn't want them to tarnish my name or for me to have to clean up their messes anymore or just have to keep on them to do their job with my leads.When you have people like @V.G Jason pop in and tell @Sam McCormack what he is doing is ok, that isn't helping.
