@Jay Hinrichs #2 is a great idea; give to get, you give them what they don't have: extra cash that they can throw into the rehab and you get someone to take the risk of cleaning and rehabbing the home.

Anyone have a rough idea on what it would run to furnish a STR in a "Mountain Modern Lodge" style with durable, attractive, lodge/cabin style stuff. 

How much time is typically needed to do a turn clean on a 1 bed / 1 bath? 

The management company I partner with takes 20% of rental revenue in exchange for all of the bookings, marketing, cleaning, preventative maintenance on mechanicals, etc. 

Keep it clean, picked up, and looking lived in. 

You just have to clean the ductwork at the joints to get the dust off, then you can wrap it in foil tape, or there is a sticky duct sealer that you basically can paint on.

So unless the property is turn key we are basically starting new each time we enter a new market- meaning finding all new contractors, cleaning crew, handymen, learning the demographic of the renters, etc.

I'm currently in need of good and investor-friendly contractors over there, as well as somebody that provides good cleaning services.

Hey everyone,I am getting into the short term rental game in the Greensboro, NC area and I am looking for some recommendations on a cleaning crew or person?

We cleaned up a tenant situation and actually sold it off market to an investor.
