My property manager then sent another technician who said the gutters need to be cleaned and recommended installing leaf guards around the entire duplex, along with larger downspouts and overflow guards, for a total of $3,013.

@Jonathan MuellerHow do you coordinate cleaning the rooms and who cleans the rooms?

I found out they wanted to go to Atlanta to stay with family, I offered to pay for the flights in exchange for keys and within a week I got a squeaky clean house back.But, be careful: an offer of cash for keys can get your eviction case thrown out (in Wisconsin), so don't try both at the same time.

I had bids come in to clean the building out and they were 50k plus.

There is a product you can use on flooring that works well (rejuvenate)-try that first.For most things it is the actual cost (eg cleaning) or depreciated value (eg flooring replacement). 

I wouldn't pay any of the prior liens until you speak with an attorney because alot of them should be wiped clean thru quiet title action.

However, one deal taught us a harsh lesson about balancing kindness with caution—a deal that nearly ended our business before it truly began.It was the end of our first year, around Thanksgiving, when we received a lead in Massachusetts.

Like Michael said, I would use a cleaner once a month to clean or biweekly, restock the common area items (like TP, dish soap, etc), and sign up for routine lawn and snow services.

We always start clean at the beginning of the month unless there is a real need to start mid-month.You will have to use the leases that are in place and can transition the tenants to your leases as each lease expires.

I have clients at my W2 who didn't do this and are now paying environmental remediation companies (like the one I work at) hundreds of thousands to clean it up, by order of the EPA, even though the PREVIOUS owner caused the issue.
