A tenant with a sloppy paint brush can really make a mess and really damage a property.  

Not to go too far afield from the original question but this town is different from any other towns with trains because we are  our own little slice or paradise...when you throw your line in the ocean you pull out a plump tasty fish and when you scatter some seeds you grow our own special datil peppers to make a tasty hot datil sauce to brush on your tasty fish...and then throw some oysters and clams on the beach fire grill...we have oceans where you can surf and skim board and Intracoastal where you can Kayak and windsurf  and marshes where you can see pretty pink spoonbills and historic streets and buildings where you can dress like a pirate and drink rum and go argggg....when you can live here NO ONE I repeat NO ONE wants to live by the tracks...so to the original poster I say I would NOT buy anything on the railroad tracks ! 

It would not hurt to brush up on Florida Chapter 83 Landlord-Tenant statutes.

Time to brush up or hire a property manager.  

A previous tenant at one duplex did a huge amount of work clearing the brush around the yard.

Do you paint with roll brushes or do you use a paint sprayer?

This charge is typically $50/month, but since they are pretty "green" and also agreed to take out/in the garbage and brush barrels, I lowered it to $25/month for UNLIMITED laundry!

Also, something that drives me nuts about only having a sink with no counter-space around it - there is no place to set down your brush or your toothbrush.  

I'd take pictures of everything, including selfies of you with your paint brush, etc., the before and after shots, maybe even a picture of your shop with all your stuff in it.  

Who knows what we find underneath if we pull it and we do not want to repair or replace floors...Brush the paint on thin... with a good priming one coat may do it... to recoat, you scuff lightly (same scrub sponge but dry and wipe to slightly degloss and brush on coat #2 if needs be)..So you are only at probably 50-100 bucks in paints there--but tons of labor and elbow grease.I would add knew bling cabinet knobs, too, unless the new ones look ok (but a sliver or gold or bronze metallic might look good..)
