Condition of sale is one of the adjustment items for appraisal. 

Being a "Hockey Dad" and some other charity things, I've seen when a STR get's put up for auction for a fund raiser, and there always a red-hot item. 

Anyone that has sold items privately would have countered any offer. 

In spite of these two items, VRBO would not remove the review.  

General house cleaning is a no-brainer, but other items are going to depend on seller's pocketbook and our prioritization of these prep items to the overall sale probability in the first 14 days of the listing. 

When we were focused on rental arbitrage we had our system down to furnishing a property in 2-3 days once all items have been delivered .

.- related to item 1, make sure you do conservative underwriting on sustained expenses.  

----For others reading/commenting on this thread, I would like to clarify a few items:-We have hundreds of builders and property managers that have been approved to market their services on our platform.

I think I would maybe consider this if this was on the beach and had a gym, pool, and plenty of parking and perhaps some chairs and items just for guests. 

However, each item that needs work requires time from me and most have a risk.
