In terms of management, usually these companies charge anywhere from 25-40% gross revenue for handling bookings, cleaning, website, pricing, repairs, etc.

As time goes you need to establish systems and processes for smooth transactions.

I have contractors and cleaning services available area.

Mix that with a couple other items to clean the place up, so I can continue to attract good tenants that expect crisp, clean units, and it gets pricey.  

thank you very much for all your comments, I was curious about the LLC as it maybe an easier way to separate the family business part from my own, since the capital source, expenses and earnings will be separate I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible while leveraging when possible. everyone's comments are aligned and I will talk to a CPA, by the way!

I'm looking at long-term rentals with pools and I will be including a pool cleaning service for my tenants.

Another option was just cleaning it and buffing it out.

It could be a matter of simply cleaning the rug or perhaps it needs to be replaced. 

Clean and treat damaged wood. 

I would think since you're working in AZ to have the LLC established there would make the most sense.
