I.e. red light=needs my attention in the next 90 days, yellow light=needs my attention in the next 6 months, green light=does not need my attention in less than 12 months.The scale can be personalized to your own needs, obviously, but it's a decent way to organized your phased-approach to a big project. 

Hello all-I remember listening to a podcast about a couple in the Dallas Fort Worth area that had a house cleaning brokerage service.Does anyone know which episode this was and where I can find?

Of course if you are squeeky clean, high income, low debt buy or refi your rental loan with a bank/fannie loan. 

Get rid of it, clean up the property, provide space for parking.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't connect with a retiree looking for a few extra bucks to handle what you need handled and check up on the cleaning crew for you.

Check those smoke alarm batteries, clean the filter in the AC, and check all the windows to make sure you are getting a good seal....

Leave by X date for X money with the home in broom clean condition. 

Taxes unfortunately go with the house/property not typically with the owner.Normally when you are closing transactions at a title company, they will help you clean up any outstanding tax issues.

Present it as a clean slate to the seller so they can develop it however they want and not have to haul out a ton of bark, obviously making the backyard less attractive.We are in a very hot market and houses are typically going for 30-40k over asking.Thank you for you input!

I connected with the agent on here and he connected them with a cleaning service and PM who so far have performed well.
