The big issues are the same as with auctions at the court house...clean title, tax liens, back taxes, and occupancy status.  

Would you do the cleaning and laundry and restocking after each renter?

I know cleaning fees have increased and Airbnb is also more challenging in terms of now threatening you with $$$$$ fines if you cancel a reservation for any “avoidable” reason, and also taking the guests side sometimes when they break your stuff like your hot tub (by leaving the lid off) or your air conditioner (by leaving the door open).I also want to say that you should be making offers on at least 50% of the houses you go tour as str investments.

Looking for recommendations for our Airbnb---reliable cleaning service that also does laundry for turnovers-friendly, responsible personal assistant ( a few hours/month) who can help with guest check-in/out, receiving occasional deliveries, real estate related errands, etc., since we are not in NYC full-time.Thanks and happy holidays!

I already have a cleaning and handyman team helping me with the property right next door and I'm super familiar with the neighborhood.

Remodeled the bathroom and cleaned up the exterior.

We tried Airbnbing the room, but the constant cleaning and turnover was tiring, and it made me uncomfortable not really knowing who was staying in our house.

Between each turn over to clean the filers and check chemical balance? 

When I purchase properties, I grandfather in pets in homes that are clean and well-cared for.
