. 😁 Again, I was just curious and fueled by annoyed, frustration when I wrote my first post.

Any company insuring your properties without an inspection most likely has a clause buried deep in their policy allowing them to deny claims for conditions found on the property that do not meet their UW standards and they will deny you claim based on "the house should have not been insured with them anyway".Although the inspections can be annoying look at it from the other side.You pay them 1000 to 3000 a year to insure a rental property where they agree to pay out possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars if it burns down or up to 1 million if a tenant slips on a bananna peel and falls down the steps or the tenants dog bites someone and since you didn't enforce the tenant having their own renters policy to cover the dog bite the landlord's policy is paying out.The insurance company is very much like your rich uncle backing your business venture - you run the business, he takes on the financial risk from disasters, and doesn't even get a say in who lives in the property.Your rich uncle asking you to fix the steps, put up a handrail, etc which is in your and his best interest long term.Do you really want to rent out a property with a busted front step and a bad roof that is going to leak sooner than later?

What is annoying is you cannot combine the name and multiple numbers in REIReply.

Right now, I'm using both a spreadsheet and Stessa to get to my year-end reporting which is pretty annoying.  

Don't treat people in ways that you know would annoy you.

Maybe communicating it more will help, but you cannot make people read.As a guest I would find making my own bed especially after a long drive or flight would be annoying. 

But it's annoying.

It's ok and still good for keeping track of items, but the little annoyances just turn me off.

We are working on finding the leak but in the meantime this tenant (who is needy and has been otherwise annoying) is making a big deal about these small stains that are about 4” inches diameter.

Yes, entitled tenants with unreasonable expectations can be an annoyance, but you are dealing with one of the biggest most important aspects of a person's life (where they life).
