Cleaning Fee should be covering not only your interior cleaning but if you have a yard that needs to be maintained you need to factor that into what you charge the guests.

The interior has been redone already and is nice.  

But, I obviously knew and clearly conveyed from the beginning that I wanted a new kitchen, new bathrooms, a shower in the master bathroom, full interior paint, refinish the hardwoods, etc.

I've done interior remodeling for many years and now I'd like to apply my experience towards flipping houses.

just close a property between Dallas and Fort Worth , need some repairs with a few minor interior wall cracks, fix leaning fence, change floor and some landscaping work. used to have a good contractor, but apparently is overbooked now with today's market.  

After closing, I went to work, painting all three of the units interiors that we would be renting.

I agree with @Kevin Smith - blown in from interior is the way to go.

(almost) Final numbers 18k for way more work than I originally intended, 1700 for appliances, 500 in holding costs, 118k for purchase.When I say more work, I replaced front door, sliding glass door, 2 windows, fixed a bunch of stucco, all new carpet, inside and outside paint, replaced shingles, painted cabinets, new flooring in the fire place room, flooring in the laundry room, a whole new bathroom, some drywall fixes, some new interior doors, new window sills, new downspout in the front, and I'm sure some stuff I'm forgetting... but it's move in ready now, so I figure it'll be easier to get a buyer.

This took 9 months, stayed firm on price, finally agreed but they said can you close in 6 days, of course I can, needed lawn mowed, interior clean and paint, had it rented in just a few days!!!

The gentleman who had owned it prior collected everything and the yard was full, including more than 70 lawnmowers, over 120 bicycles (not kidding), and an interior that was almost as bad.
