No, Biden said nothing about clean up costs I do believe.

Let them do the follow up and paperwork and maybe lead cleanup, but you do the dialing and talking yourself for much better results.

Considering that I keep QB's reconciled up to date, shouldn't any "accounting cleanup" be included in the $2,400 fee to file tax returns?

With this additional expense, that would mean depleting the savings we’ve worked so hard to build over the past few years.To add to the situation, my wife and I are expecting our first baby in just two weeks!

If the law allows, I will sometimes move the personal items to storage, which is much cheaper than lost rent, so I can clean up the rental and find a new tenant.

If they were insured with Cal Safe they are both dramatically underinsured and a single neighborhood would deplete the programs' reserves. 

Additionally, there’s always a risk that any pet-related damages could be hidden under furniture or otherwise concealed, potentially leaving us to cover the costs if the security deposit is fully depleted by other expenses (e.g., damages or unpaid rent).

Take a look at Personal Property versus Real property coverage, plus clean up costs to make sure your covered.I would also look at covering your project from the Subcontractors. 

I feel as-is, I can get around $120k after cleanup and some minor repairs.

The current owner bought it for $30K and I know they had to clean up a lot of title work and started doing repairs.
