If it is for someone else, a clean wholesale transaction would work nicely.

The first thing you want to do with a vacant house is clean it.  

Landlord intends to sell the property.Steam cleaning was done.Tenant left large stains on 2 stairs which are very visible.  

- What kind of trees are on the property and are they healthy?

You can get some real world experience cleaning, painting, maintaining rental properties.

Very clean, simple and easy on the eyes.  

Greetings Everyone.I want to move forward & clean up my credit, but am worried about my families money.

Pros and Cons of vacation rentals I've come up with:Pros- Living in a city with year round tourists (home is in a great central location) - Potential to make more $$ than a traditional rental- Less wear and tear on the property (in theory)- Access to the property weekly to clean/make sure it is being maintainedCons- No guarantee of bookings- Personal time investment to clean after each check out - 3% fee charged on every booking from Airbnb (VRBO is even higher) I am 50/50 on what route to take here, so any advice is welcome!

Find a good team and that is more important than the particular market, although you do need to identify a market that is healthy economically with good rent to price ratios. 

What exactly is “normal wear and Tear”/ The definition is the deterioration of the property that occurs during occupancy where the tenant cleans regurarly and cares for the premises reasonably.
