Is there a particular website or service you use?

Look at some buildings in the area and see how much management companies charge them to provide the service.

Personally, I’ve found that one mid-stay refresh (45–60 days) works well without being intrusive.But some hosts swear by weekly service (especially for corporate clients).What’s your approach — and how do you structure the cost?

Wholesale inflation is spiking again, driven by surging food, energy, goods and services prices.

Quote from @Upneet Teji: Looking for recommendations for cost seg firms that do a virtual inspection for a fully engineered report, and that have a roster of CPAs and engineers.Great thread here https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1258422-cost-...with different perspectives on which cost seg (self-service, virtual, onsite) might be best for you and your property.  

I am investigating starting my own property management company in Los Angeles.If you were to use my services, what would you like to get, and what services are overrated?

If the janitor isn’t “in house” often there’s a mismatch between the level of service the client expects and what they receive from the vendor. 

The vacant unit was renovated for ~$30k including central HVAC installation and was placed into service as a STR in Sep 2025. 

You’re definitely looking in the right direction, but there are a few tripwires to be aware of.For the STR strategy to work this year, the property has to (1) be placed in service in 2025 (furnished, available and actually listed for rent), (2) qualify as a short-term rental for tax purposes (average stay under 7 days, or under 30 with substantial services), and (3) meet one of the material participation tests (for most W-2 folks that’s usually 100+ hours and no one else, including cleaners/PM, doing more than you). 

The turnover inspection cost seems a little strange, but it's not unheard of to not include inspections in their initial services.
