Just make it as clean a simple as you can, the KISS method usually workds well. :)

I guess I'm supposed to have that hoarder cleaned up and go get regular financing, but I've already used up my down payment to the owner.

t rent it.I ended up getting a skilled tradesman in each house.one guy is an actual house builder that hit bad times during the recession the other guy works with his father installing and remodeling bathrooms and kitchens.both these guys came signed the lease on the first tenant I allowed him to move in with security plus 200.00the difference was the paint and drywall repair and cabinets stained and house cleaned. that I would have paid someone else to do out of pocket which I didnt have.gettting that money allowed me to take care of a 350 plumbing problem and a furnace issue that came upthe other house the guy moved in for security plus 300 for the first two months less than half the actual rent because he is going to do all the painting and the bathroom remodelsome drywall repair and hang ceiling fans.he is working alongside my contractor and my contractor has now gotten a new partner and he has okayed this guy to do the workall things worked out.and now my two houses have some capable people in them who wont come crying everytime there is a minor problemI know this isnt the ideal way to do business but I sort of started out over extended.

Yes, tenants are their customers, but they are providing clean, safe housing in return for rent.

Well the former landlord has been keeping the eye on the property too as he is retired and he said everything is "cleaned out and looks the unit seems to have no damage beyond normal wear and tear".

Clean up the student debt over the next few years, and also any other consumer debt laying around (credit cards, cars, etc.).

I have been helping clean the place out to get ready to sell.

.- In the yard grass is your friend and flower beds are your enemy ( unless you enjoy digging cigarette butts out of bushes) Or paying someone to clean them up for you. - Make sure no trees over hang or come close to touching your rough.

I'm mainly curious about if I can re-listing it and show it while the current tenant is still there or if I should wait until they are out and the place is cleaned up.

I bought some tsp cleaner and gave the floor a good clean.
