In the recent months I was presented with a relatively good deal and have been waiting on the owner to clean the property in order to sale it.

Put a few thousand dollars in it including brand new interior paint, complete cleaning of the house, home staging and so on.

We've made a lot of impovements around the building, keeping things clean, landscaping, etc.  

.), and full clean up of yard and exterior.

I assume a tenant who lived there years ago had an old box of letters which they dumped when doing a clean out.

Pm me for actual numbers and even links if you like.You are right, though, you are seldom going to find a quad in an ideal, dream home, stepford wives type subdivision of white picket fences and Norman  Rockwell charm...The quad on quad street is no one's dream home, but if you have a good product at the right price, you may get dozens of calls ( I have logged a hundred in the peak season) for that clean but affordable humdrum unit on quad street.

It's important to note that not everyone will have the same taste in decor, so having a vibrant/unique colour scheme could be a turn-off for a lot of people.Clean from top to bottom.Every room should be cleaned and bad odours removed as it could be something as small as this that turns viewers off the home.

Take control of the property, turn it around, charge the tenant for cleaning, repairs, and unpaid charges, and find the next renter.

It used to be that people were trained to the standard of living in base housing where you had to do a full make ready just to get checked out including a seriously overpriced cleaning person.

Personally, I pay for the best wifi, all the utilities and regular professional cleaning.
