(Paint, vacuum, deep clean, etc)I have two units in San Jose, possibly a third in a nearby city, that just all happen to vacate at around the same time that need a bit of touch up.

I funded my own first deal back in '97 and once my family saw that I was serious and saw the project, they were over there helping me clean, paint and do whatever they had the ability to do.

Did they simply clean the carpet and give it a coat of new paint, or did they actually put in the work to give the prop a new roof, new HVAC, new flooring, etc?

We paid almost $300 to have the place (1685 sq ft) professionally cleaned.

Cleaning/wetting the carpet that is sitting on the wood can cause the boards to ripple or if enough water penetrates, buckle.

I purchased the property with cashDistressed investment property so couldn't find a bank to financeHard-money lender is requiring clean title to provide rehab loanCost of rehab is $100KCost of repairing city violations $27 - $30KAt end of rehab, the property will become part of our buy/hold portfolioLooking for options to get the repairs/rehab done without digging further into our savings.

If an owner couldn't properly clean a toilet between tenants then I wouldn't want to rent with them. 

I was able to meet lot of great folks, drove around everywhere checking out different neighborhoods (low income to high areas) and properties.Loved the diversity, and was very impressed how well maintained and clean the city was.  

And the cleaning quotes I'm getting are 400-500 alone, not to mention the repairs.We're already beyond the scope of his security, and I'm going to have to pursue legal means.

Sometimes having drains cleaned will get them operational again, but the problem will come back over time.
