Thanks Tanner, I’m mostly interested in learning about construction so that when I view homes I have a general idea as to how much an imperfection, like a torn carpet, might cost.

If the islands can clean up quick I think we will continue business as usual. 

10% is probably a little steep, and like John said, a flat fee may be more reasonable.Setting up a proper STR is not cheap, but once you are set up properly, you deal with routine breakage.I recommend managing yourself and saving the 20% personally, getting a rockstar cleaning team and a reliable handy person, using something like Hospitable that can help automate messaging when listing, and reading the book from the bookstore here called Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth.

I have a cleaning crew in to clean the common areas every other week. 

Put locks on each bedroom door so individual tenants have security of their personal belongings.You need a really good set of rules regarding shared common space, cleaning, kitchen use, bathroom use, etc.Be very clear about the rules up front, and selective about who you put in there.

Do you assume the renters cover the cleaning fee?

Does anyone have any experience with financing a clean and sober home that is already in existence? 

Carpeted areas will probably need removed down through the first layer of subfloor.

Listing, optimizing, customer relations, cleaning and a whole lot of other stuff are involved. i would like to connect with you to see how I can be of assistance to you.

They also have very rigorous requirements (again test results near or just below the detection levels) for getting a "clean" house.
