Just to confirm the NOI is found by using NOI = Revenue - Operating ExpensesThen the (operating expenses) are property management, property taxes, repair/maintenance and insurance.

If you're notifying them of intent to enter for inspection or maintenance in 24 hours, they should respond within a few hours.

@Eliza Alexa Refi to get at much money out as you can, while still cash flowing/saving for capex, vacancy, maintenance, etc, and start making offers with the cash.

There is nothing to challenge with the county on this, as this is routine policy here.  

That is where I would start when it comes to maintenance and repairs. 

It's more specific than this breakdown, but basically rehabbing a bathroom (think attached/modified structure) would be a capital improvement deducted over time, but something like the cost of the toilet would be deductible this year as 'ordinary'  and therefore maintenance. 

It will likely take a couple of years before they pay for themselves and produce a profit and that assumes low maintenance costs.

Do you offer rental or maintenance guarantees?

So, my question is: What are professional STR managers are doing to keep operational, maintenance, and cleaning issues to a minimum and everything running smoothly? 

I'm running maintenance, leases, and online payments through it.
