Without knowing all of the details, it sounds like this stuff was immediately below the ceiling repair and she did nothing to move it.

Matter of fact I think the CA DRE frowns upon that.PS spell check is all wonky right now on BP so excuse my spelling and grammer as I pound this stuff out.. its the thought that counts :) 

Shadow your dad in how he does the behind the scenes stuff.

Most modern stuff is built cheaply and won't last.

We changed the locks, police left, texted the tenants saying if you want any more of this stuff, arrange a single time with me before x date (1 month store of belongings required) to pick it up.

Most things got thrown straight into the dumpster, but there was a lot of good stuff there. 

Just tons of stuff and 1 million deal is like 100k house in residential.

I've read my contract as best I can but it's dense legalese with which I have no prior experience so no familiarity. 

@Ilgaz Arikan to start I have zero experience with short term stuff so I can't speak on it other than knowing its extremely market dependent due to municipality guidelines for short term rentals.

I definitely sympathize with the fact that they may have systems, I've thought a lack of systems has been an issue from my current management, but saying stuff like that makes me very skeptical that when an issue arises there is going to be someone who is receptive to fixing it on the other end.
