A cheaper more rural area would be places like Crystal River, which is beautiful and sees a high amount of tourist traffic for such a small city.

Figure out your Crystal Clear Criteria.

@Crystal Kaczkowski.

No one has a magical crystal ball. 

Long-story short, if the investment thesis is based on maximizing your ROI - I'd focus on charging market rents and then consider section 8 adjustments like @Crystal Smith mentioned if the current market conditions warrant.    

@Erik Stenbakken - Thanks for the shout out, my friend@Crystal Chaillou - As always, you have stellar info to share!!

Make it crystal clear in the notice letter that he will receive the security deposit immediately if the property is left in good condition and has been vacated on time.

Crystal clear move-in photos of the areas in question and crystal clear move out photos of the same areas.  

Once you are crystal clear on what that is, then like others have said listen and read everything you can on the subject, while at the same time create small tangible steps you can take every day that move you in the exact right direction.   

Nothing's going to happen to a brass drain in seven months unless you pour a pound of lye crystals down the thing three times a day.
