Two months ago our tenant informed us they'd be moving out in 60 days. We activated all of our typical listing sites and waited... a couple weeks went by... no inquiries. another couple weeks... nothing. They were about two weeks from moving out and we still had no leads, which was concerning to me considering it took a full month from when we first made contact with this tenant until they moved in and we got paid. So I was considering lowered the price by 25% to get some more interest. But instead I decided to ask God about it. It was a simple question: What do you want me to know about this situation? Immediately the phrase came to my mind: “I want to bless you”. I translated that as “I want you to get the full amount that you want”. So I left the price as is. Still no inquiries. Not one. Last week as our tenants were starting to move out, I asked Him a different question: What do you want me to do? I sensed “Hold tight”. So I did. Our tenants moved out Monday. The next day we got an urgent inquire from an Insurance Company needing to place a family immediately. They have a dog so not only are they going to pay the full price but also pay the monthly pet rent. They signed the lease agreement and moved in today (only 3 days after initial contact). It's a mystery, but I truly believe it: There's is always enough — enough time, enough money, enough opportunity, and yes enough tenants.

We are in between tenants and I have question about cleaning after pets... our previous tenants had two cats and a dog. They took care of the house, but there is certainly animal hair around and I'm also aware that there must be animal dander everywhere. We have a new tenant moving in soon and I want to make sure the place is property cleaned in case they have allergies. What is the proper protocol for cleaning after a tenant with pets? Do we need to have furniture cleaned? Can we just vacuum it? Would a normal cleaner do a good enough job? Any recommended cleaners in Ventura County (Camarillo)? Thanks!

Secured a lease at full price through an insurance company! 1 month to start, but it will likely extend to 4-6 as it's a full kitchen gut and remodel! So thankful for the booking and also to be able to provide a nice place for this family through the holidays and beyond!
