Easy to clean and strong.

And simply saying "wipe them down" ignores the fact that there are nationwide shortages on cleaning supplies, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, etc.I can tell you that every single PM is making very difficult choices right now.

The next few months will be unpredictable but people will always need a clean and safe place to live.

Here are some tips that may seem obvious, but are sometimes overlooked:Ensure the entire property is empty, clear and free of any items and most importantly, CLEAN!

A property may have contracted services for Laundry, pest control, trash hauling,landscaping, snow removal, elevator servicing, cleaning services, window washing, securityservices, parking lot sweeping, etc.

Also, even if they have purchased a home before, they aren’t necessarily that savvy so it may take days to week or more for them to get all the paperwork together for a loan officer to figure out what they can lend (ie people have lives and also not always “clean W2” salaries).While I work with plenty of clients who don’t have their financing set when I meet them (or day they do but can’t prove it), required PoF is important to make sure you aren’t wasting the Realtor’s time, or fall in love with a house you can’t afford.Case in point.

You could also leave some cleaning supplies around for mailboxes and railings.

Could it not be cleaned up?

You don't want to dig in too deep on your first deal.

My second purchase was another SF circa 1987 - the inspection report wasn't as clean, but I had foundation/structural experts come through to be safe.
