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.

We had a bad PM who let the pool furniture get mildewed and didn't say anything nor get it cleaned.

Doing a $50K renovation might take you months, which would mean even more holding expense.And, the same problem you mention also applies in the DIY scenario: What if you take months to make $50K in renovations and then still don't get the offer you need?

@Jackie Liu we see this a lot, where many PMCs and DIY owners only require the last 3 paystubs to gauge income.How can a tenant consistently pay rent, unless they have consistent income?

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.

I have a few things I am hoping to get some guidance on if possible:1) Can itemized deductions just be the quotes for things needing fixed/ cleaned?

That will show you all of the issues with the property title and the title agent will be happy to explain how to clean up those issues. 

I  have a property manager, cleaning, and maintenance people. 

I just have 5 units and am doing other work to help pay the bills in addition to doing all the property management myself (upkeep, repairs, cleaning in between tenants, mowing, finding & interviewing tenants etc).
