Like above screen tenants and screen heavy, set expectations quickly and clean on communication and anything within the lease agreements.Location of course, pick somewhere business wise of potential growth/sustainable economics so when you move out you can easily lease out not only your unit but the other during turnover.

As an out-of-state investor (Live in PA and have property in DE), we do our own property management (Short-term Vacation Rental Condo) - HOA does all the outside and pool stuff and we book, stock, and clean it ourselves...so I can't help you there either.   

But there's also Direct Mail, Websites (SEO/SEM), Social Media, Wholesalers and dozens of other methods.

@Jason SulcerWhat company do you use to clean it after each guest?

That is the preferred method.

If it’s a higher-class neighborhood, maybe stainless steel appliances, but they do need more cleaning.

You need a mix of marketing methods.

See how we can twist these to make our particular models sell or seem like the greatest thing since sliced toast  LOL.These are the hidden gems that take a little more know how than just HEY buy this house my mortgage is 1k my rent is 1500 i make 200 a month .. thats very basic real estate and if you can scale it and thats what you want fine.. but there are plenty of other methods to get you serious wealth much quicker..

This method I used allowed me to increase my rate of purchasing properties over that time frame.  

You can just clean it up enough or fix up to a certain standard you set.
