This is a very simplified version of the process without accounting for market changes or bad investments, but hopefully the example helps show how you can speed up your process.Read Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat: The BRRRR Rental Property Investment Strategy Made SimpleBuy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat: The BRRRR Rental Property Investment Strategy Made Simpleby David Greene.

I have been successful finding a handyman and cleaning lady on FB marketplace. 

Screening prospective 'tenants' seems different only because you can have great credit, clean criminal and still be a slob and leave crap everywhere. 

I have been reading that hardwood is not great for kitchens (especially in rentals) because water can ruin hardwood floors, especially if spills/pee/etc. are not quickly cleaned up (a very possible scenario depending on the tenant).

Hey guys I was hoping for any suggestions or even to open up a conversation about STR cleaning companies in the Poconos.

In terms of management, usually these companies charge anywhere from 25-40% gross revenue for handling bookings, cleaning, website, pricing, repairs, etc.

I know from reading David Greene's book on long distance real estate investing that finding the right agent can be a great start. 

I see the host as co authored a book with Jeff Greene-a major Palm Beach Developer.

I have contractors and cleaning services available area.

Mix that with a couple other items to clean the place up, so I can continue to attract good tenants that expect crisp, clean units, and it gets pricey.
