The selling is going to get a check for the full amount either way (This is a clean sale not a REO or foreclosure).

I would get out of house clean with the bank.  

I like removing that problem, even if it costs more, because everything is clean without concerns and potential future problems that can pop up with little warning.

However, in a big snow I anticipate needing someone to clear the sidewalk and do some alley clean-ups since the City can ticket the Owner the sidewalks are not shoveled. 

But good luck getting even "clean" renters to submit to that.

There are pet fees, non-refundable cleaning fees, pro-rated rent, et cetera. 

I have a regular job with an income of $65,000/year ( that I am ready to resign ), do not own a house, and a good credit, around 760.                                                     

Plus with out of state investments, it's hard to check up on your properties and your property managers regularly. 

So, always throw lipstick on, clean it, change light fixtures, paint something, get rid of trash and trim bushes, whatever, the more you touch it the less "liability" you have in your dealings. :)  

We may make 3 or 4 seperate stops at a apartment complex in 1 storm to keep things open , then we come back for the final clean up .
