I know there are the obvious PITIA items but what about property management fees (I plan on using a property manager), maintenance/repair allowance, and vacancy allowance?

Credit scores are tricky because there could be items like medical debt or student loan debt that weighs the score down. 

The other important item to consider is keeping your Credit score above 680, this gives you the opportunity to refinance without tax returns into a 30 year fixed rate Rental Loan, or DSCR Loan. 

That said, it's surprising to see a lack of diverse competition in this space.

Because as a business, you want to milk capital items for as much life as you can ring out of them!

.- Strong Rental Market: The city has a robust rental market due to a diverse population, including students, young professionals, and families.

Honestly, not what you want to hear, but take photos of the damage, send them an itemized invoice and tell them what they owe you.

Probably based on this "Within 21 days after move-out, the landlord must send the tenant an itemized statement explaining in detail any deductions from the security deposit (unless they total less than $125), and return the rest of the deposit."

For anyone who wondered here a year later, if you also use Innago, you can avoid manually entering expenses by scanning the receipts and the item description and total $ amount will load automatically, as long as everything on the receipt is expenses for the unit.

I think in these circumstances such items will be quite suitable to new fashion.
