I would lease it to cover cost for 2/3 years and then I would sell once I could get $475,000+  Would be a nice ROI and is actually doable.Love this idea!

Yes just read the details nice!!

Even then, if you've built up enough carry-forward losses, a nice capital gain may not trigger any taxes to be paid. 

I think this looks nice and clean

:I would have a landscaper visit the property..

Typically, you would have a pest control service visit every 2-3 months, but this can vary depending on the region and the specific issues you're dealing with.

Anyone would consider a nice finished room with great natural light a bedroom, but in the off chance the tenant doesn’t pay rent then I would be in the wrong for letting he/she live there in the first place.

No maintenance fees or monthly fees which is nice.

When I started buying places as rentals, I also bought a newer condo and it's done well, but still struggles to cash flow (in part due to a long term renter and rent caps, but also increases in condo fees) while a house I bought at the same time has had higher turn over (allowing me to increase rent to market value) but does cash flow nicely. 

He demonstrated to be very concerned about his image and answered very fast, scheduling a visit for the next day directly with the tenant.
