Just make sure you're getting clean title in a year.

Let the games begin...less than 3 weeks ago I moved out of my private residence to put it up for rent, and I have already emptied it out, cleaned it, painted the interior that needed to be painted, and even hooked it up to county water (was on well, and was very hard water)!

Carpeting, repaired a hole in the floor, cleaning etc.  

It's very hard to tell your friends to clean up their unit, turn music down, charge them a late fee or especially evict them! 

Getting the renters, taking care of it (cleaning, etc.), and managing and disbursing the funds.  

When was the last time they/you cleaned the lint traps and pipe?

Most of the small vendors don’t answer email, maybe once a week, can’t manage a schedule at all, have no one answering the phone except for them when their hands are clean.

I really dont want to mix up tenants just because the lady staying there has her whole family there, who knows how many and the sole bread winner is a house cleaner, cleaning vacation rentals and motels.  

Outsource gutter cleaning.
