An agent will help and I'll say some small things like increasing light and space will make an influence. 

I use Tellus too. Since I own small units of properties, I want to manage them just from my phone. I like all the features they have on their mobile version. My tenants pay me monthly rent through the app and I can track every property related stuff. 

I use Tellus. My tenants pay me through it and I can always add rents and expenses. It generates financial reports automatically. 

Haven't used it yet but I would rather use free service offering the same feature.

Check your own state law terms. 

That's true. I had a lot of trouble with their listing. After I posted my listing, they somehow changed the order of my pictures and my property is a single family home but they changed into "apartment for rent". So I contacted their support to help me solve that problem. 

You should definitely check your lease and I think it should be your tenant's responsibility to clean that up before you do the move-out inspection. If you still need to call cleaning service after that inspection, I guess you should charge the fee from  tenant's deposit.

There are a lot of topics about this on BP now. Personally, I'm using Tellus for rental property management, including rent collection, tracking financial reports, screening tenants, etc. 

Try Tellus. I use it for my rent collection and also my tenants can submit maintenance ticket in the app. Super convenient. 

Some tips for you:

Start learning and reading from all resources; define your goals and know your limitations; do more research on the market you would like to invest in; gather professional real estate investing team to help you.
