We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

You can take pictures of receipts and log in to the app or work on the desktop.

You can cover the wire mesh with drywall patches (they tape on wall and across the wire, white/paintable, different sizes) as the wire mesh is what will prevent the rats from eating their way into the property (the covering material is cosmetic only).

Condition, pictures, any financials they can provide.  

Do you provide move in and move out reports How many pictures do you take of the property prior to tenant moves in and after the tenant moves outDo you get weekly reports when the property is vacant what prospective tenants are saying about your homeDo you provide monthly newsletters to your tenantsDo you hold investor education classes to help me become a better investorDo you have single point portfolio based management services?

Since you are splicing multiple pictures, why not show a good one of the game room and other other key parts of the house instead of all of the game room?

Assuming you don't have a mortgage that requires a certain level of insurance, you can get a stop-loss policy covering all the properties. 

We have done it both ways where we fund purchase and they cover rehab but if the individual is less experienced we do not do it that way, we have them put more money into the deal from the start and fund the draws, reason why is we also had a deal where the person said they would do this and never did anything and property sat and loan matured and it was a pain.Just recognize you will still not get 100% financing for the purchase, so you are putting money in up front. 

I also have a friend that bought brand new construction, but had to shell out tens of thousands in repairs because the home wasn't built properly, the inspection didn't catch the issues, the builder didn't have a warranty on the property, and insurance didn't cover all the problems.

That said, if your insurance doesn't cover certain breeds, then you need to deny those breeds - until the law is changed or you find a different insurance provider who will cover them.There is definitely a law about dog bites, though.
