So outsourcing some degree of property mgmt would be a must... but the deal won't work paying a local property manager a large % of my revenue...Instead, I would set up my "boots on the ground" (cleaners, handyman), and would need an offshore virtual assistant to manage guests and coordination of my local team. 

interview and find a great cleaner.

I think Navajo White and white goes well with renters tan carpet in some bedrooms in some rentals.I did A study mockup of  @Johann Jells beautiful bay window room in close to those colors.Windows like that to me seem very calming and serene, especially upstairs I like them (which was my motivation to re color the pic a little.And if you want you can picture me sitting in one of those chairs with a cup of coffee and a good book--because that is where I'd probably be.Good Luck!

When I first started I had new carpet in the house.

Current plan is to rip out the carpet, it's trashed, and replace with LVP (one of the four colors, not sure which is best to choose... see attached image), replace the laminate counter with granite.

And most will be able to pay the taxes when they come due, and put on a new roof, and put on a new coat of paint.As well as replace the carpets, cut the grass on a regular basis, replace the windows, reseal the chimneys when the liners crack, etc..It's unlikely that that these homes will fall into the slum category in 10 years or so, and make the asset underlying the loan virtually worthless.Or just vanish when the place starts to fall apart too much, due to no down-payment (no skin in the game 100% loans).Said the lawmakers who approved this.

Tenants leave the 15th and I plan to patch holes that evening and paint + hire cleaner on the 16th and have new tenants move in the 17th. 

I really liked finding the probate houses there, which often have great structure and outdated paint/carpet.  

Not having to go find a good cleaner and handy person, proof of regular maintenance on the hard systems (A/C, Furnace etc) helps.
