@James Wise he was clean for many years and going to my church, but that was five years ago.

Hard to find deals right now.I personally would not consider cleaning my own STR's.

The core 4 is David Greene’s strategy for long-distance and made up of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender.

Before you move, clean the compactor, all the kitchen area and take a bunch of pics in good lighting and save them for your records.

There are a number of considerations for buying including: acquisition costs, occupancy rates & area tourism or desirability, regulations, taxes, boots on the ground options "The Team" with maintenance, cleaning, groundskeeping, HOA costs... so that being said, Poconos area properties come with their own set of challenges no doubt. 

(Mostly your cleaning crew).

The floor needs to be "clean" and level or anything underneath these (although they are considered a floating floor) can eventually be felt. 

One option is to tell them you won't require them to clean but you'll still give them a full refund of the deposit if they are out by the deadline and there's no damages.

Repaint, cleaning, etc....So that way the unit is in rent ready (showable) condition as soon as possible.Good Luck!

Very clean and tidy.If you're the one that finds the deal, negotiates the deal, coordinates inspections, and does all the work to bring this to closing, then you should pay yourself for that work (typically a percent of the purchase price).
