I have some capital put to the side, furnishings/decor ready and two cleaning companies already in pocket but need to find an individual/company who is currently subleasing so I can finally get my feet wet.

Is there a recommended paint finish for rentals that is easier to clean or does it really matter?

If not you can start with a bridge loan and then refi once the property is cleaned up and rented. 

So we see some really problems with coverage for things like a hot tub servicing (too dirty), extra cleaning, having a pet, extra guests... etc. 

A tenant might destroy the unit and disappear or they may turn it over clean and ready to rent to the next tenant.  

Clean Duplex listed for $250K.

Closing will not occur for 6 weeks - All utilities are currently on but wondering if I should turn off Gas & Water since the house is vacant & only leave the Electric on for security reasons.  

The lady in the second unit is a long term tenant and is clean and easy going (been there for 15 years or so). 

When you're getting ready to sell a property, investment or otherwise, what does everyone do in regards for having the space professionally cleaned before marketing? 

I think the issues brought up earlier in this discussion is many people don't operate their LLC cleanly/properly and when they lose the lawsuit they find that they limited liability protection they sought via the LLC is actually not there.
