@Kevin Barnard you nailed the visual effect; “Golden Nugget” I think I’ll remember to “buy right” Thanks Kevin!

I always require verification of income - pay stubs for employed, visual tax return inspection for self-employed, or bank statements if income comes from elsewhere.If they have good credit, that's it - I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.If credit is marginal, I'll ask for additional year tax returns, P&L statement, or whatever else makes sense.After that I'm either satisfied, satisfied with a larger up front payment, or decline the applicant.

It helps prospective tenants better visualize the space and can give the property a boost.I agree with the other responses that you are likely going to need more aggressive price reductions to get the property rented, but you shouldn't expect it to rent super quickly. 

These were all visual things ,  stuff that catches your eye .  

@William Luke LaityA property's appraisal value is influenced by recent sales of similar properties and by current market trends.The home's amenities, including the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the floor plan's functionality, and the square footage are also key factors.The appraiser must perform a complete visual inspection of the interior and exterior and note any conditions that adversely affect the property's value, such as needed repairs.All the best!

Make sure your website is user-friendly, your social media accounts are active and engaging, and your online listings are up-to-date and visually appealing.

For example, if the landlord has a room within the basement that is not accessible to the tenant, it is still subject to visual inspection. 

Quote from @Ryan Ness: If you use a Property Manager, there's no need to develop policies and procedures.

I'm thinking something that pulls in various metrics in one place, maybe with heatmaps or other ways to easily visualize the data...

The back of the house is fitted with custom viroc cement panels and pavers, which add to its visual appeal.Inside, the house boasts a cozy fireplace and spacious 10-foot ceilings, providing a comfortable and inviting living space.
