We also follow-up with the recruiter or HR lead after each stay to tell them what a great experience we had with their employee and to ask them to think of us in the future when they need to place someone in a midterm/corporate lease.

They have moved out as it was the end of their lease, so does that negate eviction court?

It can be usable for both if you were vacating the units and there was a 12 month lease agreement.

Also, I'd lease out the other bedrooms for additional income as well as practice screening, leasing, and interpersonal comms.  

Yes to all of it.Definitely stay there a few days to find things your cleaners aren't going to notice.You need to create the 5 star experience from the beginning.

Some portfolio or private lenders may waive this rule, so it’s worth exploring.While waiting for the 6 months, finalize renovations, stabilize the property with tenants, and ensure all paperwork (leases, receipts) is organized.

What's the deal with 'land lease'...should we steer clear? 

Sometimes they find a renter that will sign a lease for a high amount only for the renter to default leaving the owner eating the vacancy. 

(They were leases with escalation clauses without a buyout option.)

Quote from @Kar Sun: My tenant's lease is coming to a close and I am relieved she will be moving soon.She has been paying on time but has been extremely unpleasant and rude.While the money does not smell my mental sanity is more important than money in this case.She sent me a registered letter stating that she feels "unsafe because we have not done the fixes the way she wanted it".She requests to have her witness for a walkthrough.In my state a walkthrough is required but I am not about to grant it to her to bring any witnesses as that is not in my contract.If she feels unsafe she does not have t be present.I also do not treat a final walkthrough with a tenant as a final sign off.This walkthrough does not include a detailed inspection of the plumbing and the appliances that will be done after she departs.This is simply for the visible cosmetic issues and should take less than 1 hr.
