some roofs, tree damage and trash strewn around. 

They'd also probably be more aware of how much water, gas, or electric they are using when they have to pay the bill after each cycle.  

For example, I have a subject property that has 1682 SF on the main floor and 810 SF of finished basement (the majority of which is about 8 feet in height with the exception of some bulkheads to hide the mechanicals) and 271 of semi-finished basement that is a utility room basically (washer/dryer, freezer, hot water heater, furnace, some storage).

I appreciate it.Aside from the option to be added as 'additional insured' they have the option to purchase a  "ProtectionPlus Bundle' from Surevestor, which includes several things like protection against eviction costs, wilful damage to property, over a $1 Million third party liability protection, loss of rent protection for 25 weeks etc.This is $50/month.

Always be cautious of what you charge on things like paint, flooring etc.. most judges will use life expectancy and divide out a pro rated amount you could charge the tenant for excessive damage and not normal wear and tear 

It's fine if you don't ever need to cancel, or have any damaged items to return but as soon as you do, their customer service feels nonexistent. 

On the other hand, tenants tend to cause damages when moving these appliances in/out, so having them in place may be safer.I recommend you look at what others are doing in your community and price point.

So, make sure YOU understand the copy & paste info below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I would only ever consider this if the ceilings are already falling down or damaged.  2.
