What is your overall average profit when considering utilities, cleaning, restocking, etc...?

All cash sales are so easy and clean!

They typically make sure the neighborhood stays nice and clean and enforce the HOA rules so its much easier to rent the property or to even sell if the neighborhood looks nice.

When under contract, I had the sewer scoped and the company said there were some rocks in the line and worst case I would need to water jet the line to clean it out.

It needs carpets cleaned and appliances, aside from that it TK.

I live 2 hours out of the city, so having my own property to book and stay in would provide a huge personal benefit in terms of being able to head into the city more without the stress or hotel fees.I guess I'm mostly hoping to hear if anyone has done this ... my initial concerns are (1) potential complexities with how the entity is set up/ business or otherwise/managing the books, (2) negative perception among vacationers in a complex or duplex format, and (3) finding a property manager that can manage some of the nuance of STR (such as cleanings) with the general maintenance of LTR.

Better to start sooner than later and clean house asap.

Ive been quoted a range from 22 - 29% for full service management (cleaning, consumables, marketing, collections, online inquiries, etc) - curious if others have any recommendations on  a solid company with a good rate.  

I do have a couple of contacts in the city so even finding a new tenant and cleaning up one of the apartments does not really worry me too much.
