We do have a cleaning service though that help us with the turn around and does the laundry as well.

So either the cleaners clean right before check-in and someone gets the trash out of the house on checkout day, or the cleaners clean on checkout day and if there is a gap in when the next guests arrives someone has to come check the property before the guests show up.

The total estimated cost seemed high for just minor repairs  ($2700-$3700, $500 of which is PM fee) There are a couple items I expected would be flagged but not mentioned:Recommended items that i think may not be needed:- Seeding back yard lawn- Remove satellite dish on roofItems I thought would need to be on list but not mentioned:- Add washer/dryer- Clean gutters- Attach electrical panel cover- Fix loose lighting fixtures, cover open junction boxThoughts?

Otherwise, do a minor clean up in the best rooms and go from there. i would immediately toss each and every mattress in the place and start there.

By implementing energy-efficient appliances and lighting, using environmentally-friendly cleaning products, and promoting recycling and composting, you can show your tenants that you care about the environment and their health.

Clean up and cosmetic What was the outcome?

I can essentially serve as a property manager: tending to the house (cleaning, maintenance, etc), working and coordinating with any affiliated contractors, and I can even perform rent-roll, T-12, or DCF financial analysis for you on the property, or look for other properties as well.

Deep cleaned and listing it for 60k over what I'm into it for. :) Don't prejudge. :) 

I do as much as possible myself including repairs, cleaning, leasing etc., it is NOT anywhere near a "full time job"  I am happy to chat with anyone who is interested in knowing how much time I spend etc. 

We hit the jackpot on a reliable cleaning crew and handyman so that helps tremendously while we manage from afar.
