Things like maintenance, cleaning, and guest communication can all be time-consuming, especially if you have multiple properties.

A 60 year old Piano, in great condition (once it was cleaned up), a brand new professional rider's mountain bike, two safes that All Capone could have used, a mirrored very expensive 4 post bed... with intricate detailing and storage built into it, a new heavy duty riding mower,...that's all I can remember right now.

Ralland is a good North Chico location with potential if the other apartments around Ralland ever clean up.

Clear vents/ducts: have an HVAC guy come in and clean these ducts4.

Side note: we’re having the cabin and deck cleaned, repaired and stained right now.

At least this keeps her from going up on your cleaning fees a couple of months into a new arrangement. 

I think all these comments saying “no” are mind blowing, I understand the cost of testing a house for meth is pricey, but if your a landlord one of jobs is to make sure the property is clean and safe for the next tenant, so when there is ANY reason whatsoever to believe there was a meth lab, meth smoked in one of your rentals and believing “tell the tenants no, I won’t test for meth, we can just end the lease and you can find somewhere else to live” is absurd.

I am usually there doing some final touches on the property with paint or cleaning so if they show up great hopefully they rent. 

I just think it's a big learning curve with maintenance and cleaning and everything so if I'm going to get into it I almost need to buy more than one to make it worthwhile.

Recently added a bathroom and closet to a rental property - work was mediocre (largely due to GC subcontracting out to someone shady) but everything got done and works - tenants move in this weekend.Here's the dilemma, I (stupidly) Ieft a family heirloom quilt hand-made by my great -grandmother draped on a chair in the living room and the workers decided to use it to clean up waste in bathroom install.
