[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My vacation rental I was not rich like you so I cleaned it myself. I actually charged zero cleaning fee. I had no late check out fee as left day between guests. I made guests aware the owners cleaned I would be coming over myself with wife.

It was an interesting study of human nature. One website would not let me put I cleaned myself and renters left it a mess each time, even with zero fee. The one I said owner would be coming over usually left it spotless.

So I started charging a fee on the site I could not list owner is cleaning and I still cleaned but kept the fee. My beach house was like 20 minutes my primary house.

People were pretty good. BTW I did two week rentals or more only. I only did weekly for repeat guests. Too much work for me. I also did a nine month winter rental

You are rich if you own a vacation home.  [/quote]

No, not rich. After Sandy in 2012 home prices were down. I bought a condo in an older garden apt building around March 2013 that was heavily damaged in Sandy. In fact building had no electricity or heat when I first looked at it as building had Sandy Damage.

I should have bought a house instead I bought this condo. In end since I am not rich my wife never let me use it much. We only slept in condo ourself maybe 2-3 nights in 14 years. Between tenants a few times we went over, parked car in condo spot went to beach for day and came back and watched TV then walk to dinner at a nearby restaurant and then drove home. Why? My wife did not want us to reclean unit. We sleep in beds, use towels, leave dirty dishes, use bathroom shower we have to reclean whole thing in case someone wants to rent it out.
