I will be removing all flooring, carpet, tile etc... so I will check the sub-floor, baseboards, lower sections of drywall etc for visual staining.  

There are def visual markers.  

That would be my biggest deterrent as well.

Inspections prior to bid acceptance are visual inspections only.

As a realtor I recently gained access to some incredible software that shows local trends visually and its great for finding true value in opportunities.

I expect my managers to be on the property at least once a week, they don't have to make tenant contact each week; although more tenant contact is never a bad thing, but they do need to take a look at the property and visually confirm that everything is as it should be.I'm also very glad I was a horrible Property Manager when I started out. 

BTW, fake cameras, signs, and decals are a great deterrent, are way cheaper and protect your customer's privacy. 

Hard to tell based on the distant picture but it looks pretty good to me "as is"Your mindset for a rental vs a flip or personal residence has to be different...... you want it decent, visually presentable and durable....but not so nice that you are wasting $$ or are going to be pissed when the tenant damages or destroys it...because they will.....not IF, but how bad.......I would not paint those cabinets....re-stain at best.

However, more concerning to me is the portion of taxes reimbursed, they are super high and that might be a deterrent for them or some future tenet.The drugstore I mentioned is a Walgreens with 9 years left which is a plus, however the dollar store only has one year.

During the visual inspection, the risk assessor opened the closet door to the furnace area and I had to stop him.
