Also have our property manager do tours of the properties and take videos on the more run down stuff so we can get an idea of how it's going.I would also suggest, once in a while, visiting any property you own with little to no notice so you can see how it actually is on a day to day and not after a PM has cleaned it up knowing you'll be there.There's no right answer of when you should or shouldn't, it'll all depend on what will make you comfortable and what you can afford.

Cleaners weren't quite done cleaning when the photographer got there. 

for one, all-inclusive price, you could provide a private bedroom, free internet and cable, access to kitchen and bathroom, private parking, close to school, safe, clean, etc. 

@Robert CourtneyIts a clean sweep so far. 

If it's your property, tell them to either remove it or clean it off.

It's being cleaned up, fixed up with new floors, painted walls etc(I have a other thread on it). 

Daily routine is necessary.Joe has talked about having a daily routine with some of his guests on a couple episodes - # 64 and #849 specifically.

Do you think you'll be doing the cleaning, painting, lawn mowing,, or are you planning on someone else..I managed 3 properties 1 br units, total of 15 apartments and had full time job, 2 kids at home, but help from my brother, and knew when to hire help to paint and turn units,, I could leave my job at the drop of a hat so any emergency stuff wasn't a problem for me, and buildings were in decent location so I wasn't more that 15 to 20 min away. 

paint, carpet, clean up etc, so lets say $5k.  

The tenants can clean up their act prior to close or the seller can evict them (though it might take 2 or 3 months) or work through code enforcement (slight danger but better than the current circumstance) to effect the change.
