If he left the property clean and in good condition, I'd just return most (or all) his deposit and happily move on. 

Vacation/short term rentals have a lot of turn over, so you would have to be prepared to bear the cost of having the place cleaned etc. frequently.If you pursue this, post back here how it works. 

Clean and safe still drew them.I'm all about offering affordable housing.  

The area we are moving into is hard to find open/clean houses.

When we did the clean up of the house after her departure, we discovered she had kept a cat in the house in direct violation of our No Pets Policy and had extensively pock marked the newly refinished wood floors with her stiletto heel shoes.

This to me, seems profitable with very little risk if you get a matching BPO and clean title report with no violations, liens, scheduled demolition, etc.If you have your attorney handle everything it's also hands free.

Then a day or two for grouting and cleaning. 

I had some extra appliances and paint etc to clean it up, and currently have it rented out.

Most usually want a Clean Break away with Cash in Hand .
