moving the fridge and oven for cleaning - uncommonscreens, holes, rotting porch, messy porch - PM should handle these and bill youBased on your ability to get stuff done, your standards, and their service level, self-management seems like the right answer.

You will want appropriate securitization, appropriate hold-over consideration, and being a furnished unit brings thought of how those parts and pieces fit into things such a care, cleaning and maintenance. 

Quote from @Eduardo Cambil: Hey everyone We recently acquired a single-family rental in Decatur, IL through an Agreement for Deed, and now that it’s stabilized and rented, we’re looking to refinance into a DSCR loan.Here are the key numbers:Purchase price: $56,900Current balance: ≈$50,900Market value (conservatively): ≈$75,000Monthly P&I payment: $729Rented for: $1,200/month (Section 8-qualified)DSCR ≈ 1.65Property in great shape — fully rehabbed, turnkeyOur LLC (Wyoming-based, multi-member with EIN) holds the property, and all payments are current and verifiable through escrow.We’re simply trying to find lenders who can refinance small-balance DSCR deals (under $100K) — ideally allowing payoff of the existing land contract and providing a clean title.If you’re a lender, broker, or know someone specializing in this space (Midwest, small-balance DSCR), I’d love to connect and hear your terms.Thanks in advance to anyone who’s done similar deals or can point me in the right direction — happy to share full details privately or through DM.– EduardoC&T Global Solutions LLC (WY) you would be much better off going to a local lender/bank for something of this size.

But I’m curious what it looks like for others.What’s been your biggest pain point — guest messages, cleanings, maintenance, or something else entirely?

All of our cleaners provide their own cleaning supplies.  

Repairs, cleaning and capex seem to be understated for a property this size, especially if turnover is frequent.

Hire cleaners to get it cleaned up, so you can go in and do the painting.

So far thinking things like:- replacing air filters- testing and replacing batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms- carpet and floor cleaning and/or replacement - assessing for leaks and all working sinks, showers, toilets- wall repairs and painting - appliances are in working order- deep clean- change locks and battery -replace all lightbulbs inside and out- minor repairs- landscaping Anything I am missing?

Happy to chat more over DMs if you’re interested.In general, the difference between co-hosting and full-time property management comes down to how involved you’d like to be as the owner.Co-hosting is a good fit if you want to stay engaged but offload certain tasks like guest messaging or calendar management.Property management is better if you’d prefer to be completely hands-off, with the manager handling everything including guest communications, maintenance, cleaning, turnovers, etc.However, there are two big benefits, in my opinion, to co-hosting over property management.

The kids assume they're getting a clean inheritance and start planning the sale to split the proceeds.
