I provide a running google sheet (think excel file) with all reservations and cleaners check it and plan accordingly.  

I'm sure there are other lenders who may do this on a investment property but I did not find one in my search.

And usually the first stop on the search is Sacramento, just a mere two hours away near the top of the state’s Central Valley.But besides the astronomical housing prices, there’s one other thing that Bay Area investors are looking to escape in looking for greener pastures… rent control.If you’ve been asleep at the wheel, you might have missed the news that the state of California will have a measure on November’s ballot to repeal the Costa Hawkins law passed in 1995 the prohibits local communities from enacting rent control policies.COSTA HAWKINS LAW QUICK OVERVIEWNo Rent Control on Single Family HomesNo Rent Control On Properties Built After February 1st, 1995Allows Landlords To Raise Rents With New Tenantshttp://www.kcra.com/article/ca-ballot-measure-aims-to-help-cities-like-sacramento-with-rent-control/21756945*** One tenant in the video says she’s living in an 813 sq ft dump off Fruitridge and paying $1,400/mo in rent.
