Although I recently spent a day cleaning up a year and a half worth of big dog poop mixed with cigarette butts in a backyard, at this point in my career my time is better spent coordinating workers and making the big money decisions.

I am not sure if they are a bigger headache than cleaning the house and going through this process all over again.

They have never been late and never missed a payment, the house looks just as when I rented to them so they keep up with it and keep it nice and clean.

I believe based on what the agent has told me the buyer/renter is already in the property and has already been cleaning it up...

I know in my area a handyman can correct mold up to a certain size, so fix the problem and have the area cleaned up.As far as the "mildew" around the toilet bleach and water cleans that up.

Recently started a property services company and looking for clean-out work in the Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.

I've heard NYC, DC, and Boston are really harsh on mom and pop landlords

The PM I have in the area is handling some minor repair work: replacing carpet for LTV, cleaning, painting, etc.

His skin in the game will be the "sweat equity" after he cleans up and fixes up the place.

She said the only way to get a real clean deed that you can loan on would be a survey, and the current owner told me he was quoted $10k for the survey.
