@Joe Villeneuve thanks for taking a look at my video.

I follow him and have watched most of his videos and listened to their podcasts.

I'm actually posting a video in the coming weeks about common mistakes househackers & first time investors make (check my website, my YT channel videos post there too).

But to make sure the tenants care for them properly, I provide a care guide with links to related Youtube videos and I product an initial bottle or kit of whatever is the proper care products - such as for hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, glass top stoves, etc...

The furniture left behind usually consists of stained mattresses and trashy furniture.It's easier to share a guide: https://www.baymgmtgroup.com/b...Record what you find with pictures/video so they can't come back later and sue you for stealing their rare collection of bonzai trees, the freezer full of kobe beef, or grandma's ashes.
