The first thing you want to do with a vacant house is clean it.  

Landlord intends to sell the property.Steam cleaning was done.Tenant left large stains on 2 stairs which are very visible.  

Would not suggest DIY on this, or taking advice from an online forum for legal issues!

You can get some real world experience cleaning, painting, maintaining rental properties.

Very clean, simple and easy on the eyes.  

Greetings Everyone.I want to move forward & clean up my credit, but am worried about my families money.

Hi I am new to this forum and this is my first post, I just invested in rental in north Dallas in excellent school district, i have put in all my savings to the last cent towards down payment, need some advice on list...

Pros and Cons of vacation rentals I've come up with:Pros- Living in a city with year round tourists (home is in a great central location) - Potential to make more $$ than a traditional rental- Less wear and tear on the property (in theory)- Access to the property weekly to clean/make sure it is being maintainedCons- No guarantee of bookings- Personal time investment to clean after each check out - 3% fee charged on every booking from Airbnb (VRBO is even higher) I am 50/50 on what route to take here, so any advice is welcome!

@Petya Spencer, a UK solicitor and a few of my UK investor friends say you can and actually do a 'DIY' conveyancing for their  properties.

What exactly is “normal wear and Tear”/ The definition is the deterioration of the property that occurs during occupancy where the tenant cleans regurarly and cares for the premises reasonably.
