Like many things, on the other side of sacrifice, discomfort, and hard work is a large financial reward. 

Personally I don't ask for pics unless there is an issue and she sends them to me automatically.IMHO if you have a good cleaner that you trust, asking for photos is probably superfluous. 

While I haven't personally experienced any negative impacts from this fraudulent listing, I'm concerned that it could mislead potential renters and cause them financial distress.

If you know what you do and why you're doing it, there's no need for the bad and the ugly, which I personally haven't experienced.

This meant I couldn’t pursue the driver personally and had to rely on their car insurance, which settled for $25K—their maximum coverage.Unfortunately, the crash added $77K in unexpected costs, including $41K in repairs and extended holding costs.

Despite having photos available, many prospective tenants still prefer to see the unit in person to get a better sense of where they'll be staying. 

Big banks and credit unions will look at a full DTI(personal income) while others will just look at the cashflow of the property.

So that helped.I personally wanted to be more conservative as I pretty much reach “the number” that I needed (note that what “I needed” is different from what “I wanted” or what I was expecting by default.)

We have an LLC that holds real estate but have run into issues refinancing through the LLC when family is renting or ultimately living in the property so I’m also not sure if this should go through the LLC or be a personal purchase?

Personally, I've been in the mobile home investing niche since 2007.
