TURN OVER kills landlordsfor me if I get a tenant who is good ( when I had tenants) I NEVER raised rents longevity and consistent payments over years of tenancy will beat turn over and raising the rent 20 bucks every time.. plus the simple hassle factor.. that's worth more to me than a few hundred bucks.

Yes, this amount of protection is overkill in 99.9% of situations.

It may sound a little like overkill, but for me overkill probably isn't possible given where I want my level of involvement to be in performing active field duties and tenant interfacing, which is ZERO.That is all very valuable to me as it allows me to focus on my professional work and securities investment which is what I prefer to do.
