@Andrew K. yeah I set aside 10% a month from rent for maintenance , I do not have capex in my sheet because s it’s all brand new inside so I don’t plant on having to dish out money until warranties expire.But yeah I put all my expenses in , from the guy who leases my places , gets 1 month, I make that a monthly expense , I set a side 10% for maintenance , I set $25 a month for extermination and so on....I list it all expenses and I reinvest a portion of my cash flow for vacancy reserves

I just left the mop and the two heads I had at the house when they moved in.)When my tenants moved in, I also put a few things in the house: in the kitchen, a bottle of hand dish soap, a kitchen scrubber sponge, a bottle of rinse aid for the dishwasher, and a roll of paper towels, and in the bathroom, a 4-pack of decent quality toilet paper (still in the plastic) and a bar of soap (still in the box). 

Type up and print out a page of tips, your policies for trash, checkout procedures for bedding, towels, dishes, Fire exits, local favorites, restaurants, coffee houses, etc.

I have torn out carpeting where a guy died .. laid it all out in my driveway dumped dish soap on it and used my high powered pressure washer to clean it good ..then I rolled it up and threw it back in the unit tacked it down and rented the place out a week later . 

The worst was $5800 for flood only, the 2 best were $2600 and $1750 for liability including flood insurance (the last is apparently using satellite topography for creating rates).My question is, what should I consider before deciding to make this purchase?

Things like laundry, dishes, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, paying bills, washing your car, re-painting your fence, walk the dog, cooking food, etc.

Tenant told me that they stopped using the dish washer and even bought  stowels to help stop the leak and put a fan.  

.- Had to clean up a few stains on the carpet (NOT normal wear and tear) , which required me to buy stain remover - Had to have a DirectTV satellite removed from the roof.

I’ve seen the satellite systems, never inquired on the costs. 

Same goes for dish washers if possible.
