Need some recommendations for cleaning a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom top to bottom.  I have tried angis list but im getting a ton of spam.

Hi guys,I have a couple of houses that I would not mind to sell.1) One is about 100K (100 year old house in Idaho, 1 bdr 1 bath, have a hard time finding good tenants, mostly college town so the tenants are mostly college students who are not really reliable, forget to pay utilities, I get cancelations of services notices, its not so great when during winter your utility company send you a notification like that).

I'm thinking about either managing it myself remotely with a reliable boots-on-the-ground or private PM company in the area because the ones advertised on Google, etc. are pretty terrible and suspect. 

College kids are way more reliable tenants than your typical low income / poor tenants are that's for sure.

We just purchase the third fix upper property in San Jose, and we are looking for a good and reliable General Contractor. any advice on finding contractors or referrals would be greatly appreciated!

Another option is any reliable private real estate offerings that offer accelerated depreciation to mitigate your tax exposure (and typically have better returns). 

Makes sense Zachary, my concern is finding housing market/property appreciation estimates that are reliable enough (I understand nothing is perfect).

Short term goals: Accumulate 200k in cash ASAP Long term goal: 15k cash flow Numbers:-Bought in October 2020; VA loan; 2.75% (2.94% APR); $6.5k in closing cost -Purchase Price: $685k; after funding fee total loan: $701k; currently outstanding loan: $679k-Since then, increased total rent from $4,200 to $5,160-Operating expense: $1,650 (using $200 for routine repairs/maintenance cost)-NOI: $3,312 (using 4% for vacancy)-Mortgage (P+I): $2,861; Total mortgage payment: $3,505-Total monthly expenses: $4,967 (using 5% for cap ex…which is conservative as opposed to 10%)-Monthly cash flow: $193-Annual cash flow: $2,313Reasons to hold: -It is a stable, generally stress-free property. 3 of 4 units have been great long term tenants-Low interest rate at 2.75%-It is in a reliable area that will steadily appreciate  -I don’t necessarily need the capital right now.

Don't be offended by the ones that won't do it.Eventually, after you have worked with a contractor who knows you and that you are reliable, they will do this every time.

Network with other investors and find recommendations for reliable contractors.
