What are some best practices that folks enforce on guests when being pet friendly?

It can be set to auto-classify trips as well.Best practice is to keep it up to date (i.e., classify your trips) frequently. 

I can give you an example in my market here in Cbus for SFH 1,200 sqft:Roof - $7k to $9k Siding - $9k Windows - $450/window labor + material Flooring - $5/sqft Paint - $3k to $4kStandard Kitchen - $7k Standard bathroom - $5k This is just a general idea from what I am seeing. 

Bloomfield does have high rents however there a pockets that are still not up to the standard yet.

Since this is a capital improvement, it doesn't follow the same rules as a standard expense, so you'd likely start depreciation in 2023.

Talk to your preferred lenders about whether they see a cash our re-fi as being approved with the same standards as an investment, i.e. loan to value, debt coverage ratio, etc.

What are peoples best practices to manage the risks involved with occupants?  

Of course your/my mileage may vary - but this seems such a standard thing to do, I can not imagine it's worth thousand dollars of contract rocket science.  

Simplify as many standard processes such as online rent payment, leases, apartment turns, paint, and other materials, and re-key all locks to a master system.

You may also have to get your "hands dirty" in order to make these properties look nice or up to your standards.
