It would be nice to just have to communicate with one house cleaning service, but I don't think that's in the cards for us.

Hey BP Fam, we’re in the process of trying to pick up another rental property but we’re being told our debt/income ratio has become too high. We have good credit & the down payment isn’t an issue. Any suggestions ...

I also put together a cleaning schedule for each room to follow to keep the common areas nice for everyone.

Focus on it only as a mutual solution to your common problem, paying them as much money as you can.

Currently finding someone as a member of my team in the area to clean/flip between guests is what I would like to learn the most about. 

Then I'll deduct that amount from their initial deposit assuming their background check comes back clean.

I just sent you a private message with an idea that might be a good solution for you. 

If not, you may want to reconsider purchasing this property.Once you get a team in place to turnover a rental (cleaning staff) and have a handyman on call, it shouldn't matter all that much that you aren't local whether you are turning it over a few times a week or a few times a year.

@Shivam Patel here's an easy solution to all your questions...make friends with a quality lender.

Therefore in the long run it is better to let your team feel a W to boost their spirits even though you're probably not going to close due to price.When the market turns around my team will be better trained than others and will clean house.
