You could also hire yard maintenance and bake the cost into the rent price.

They also do fresh popcorn or something small about 1/x month. 

I have been hoping to get $1300/mo in a 3/1 that's freshly remodeled with a finished basement and additional bonus room.

Since you are starting fresh, I would encourage you to use a little bit of that money and travel to some different parts of the country and open your eyes to the possibilities.

It was a freshly emptied horder house so even though not a lot of items left strewn about it was neglected from maintenance and cleaning.

Purchase price: $475,000 Cash invested: $185,000 Sale price: $709,000 This property was fully renovated to provide a fresh, modern meets classic living experience.

I always deliver it spick and span and freshly painted and i always get it back dirty and with marks all over the walls.Im not worried about a lawsuit.

Hi,House was freshly painted before tenant moved in, Is dirty walls at the move out/ scratches considered as wear and tear?
