I had 3 people that lived there that did turn cleaning,, so they were ready,, i supplied all cleaning supplies.I stayed in contact with the tenants,, so if anyone was planning early out I got keys asap.and we got in to work.

I don't need the renno to be complete when my family gets in but I need the place clean and ideally floors done.  

He was 150 below market but super clean and kind.

Looking at how clean the inside of their car is when they pull up, how they introduce themselves, and the little nuggets of information they slip and say during the showings tell me a lot. 

The amount of stuff and trash left behind is much higher then the CFK would allow for clean up.

If you go in and see that the house only needs a deep cleaning and some carpet.... well your 147K figure is way off on repairs.

I truly appreciate any advice, knowledge or harsh criticism on the plan.  

It's never been updated but totally rentable now with a good cleaning and interior paint job.

I bought it, spent 3 days cleaning it out, listed it, and accepted a full asking price offer, cash, 48 hours after listing it, closed it two weeks later, and made more than I have on any other deal to this date (note: in 3 weeks this statement will no longer be true)

Some units just need cleaning and paint touch-ups at turnover, some need more, and we want to make sure we're handing a quality unit over to the next tenant.
