You can get some real world experience cleaning, painting, maintaining rental properties.

Very clean, simple and easy on the eyes.  

Greetings Everyone.I want to move forward & clean up my credit, but am worried about my families money.

Pros and Cons of vacation rentals I've come up with:Pros- Living in a city with year round tourists (home is in a great central location) - Potential to make more $$ than a traditional rental- Less wear and tear on the property (in theory)- Access to the property weekly to clean/make sure it is being maintainedCons- No guarantee of bookings- Personal time investment to clean after each check out - 3% fee charged on every booking from Airbnb (VRBO is even higher) I am 50/50 on what route to take here, so any advice is welcome!

What exactly is “normal wear and Tear”/ The definition is the deterioration of the property that occurs during occupancy where the tenant cleans regurarly and cares for the premises reasonably.

FYI they are now asking for now is a 30 day "clean up period" per year where you have to keep the balance at zero for 30 days out of 365 days. 

The property will need interior paint and a good cleaning. 

This is great except that like other homeowners we have to get our home/yard cleaned and ready for each showing - which is not how i need/want to be spending my mornings...Do you know of any company or anyone who is does cleaning like this on short notice?

Ultimately, just be a good tenant and keep the place clean, safe, and functional, as in the case of any good quality rental.  

"I cleaned it up."
