You could decorate with inexpensive cabin themed furnishings.

How well themed are we talking here? 

We bought ours with the intention of doing heavily themed rooms, an arcade room, etc. 

Is there a theme in your area you could latch on to for decorating?

So far so good.After I uploaded the photos of the checks from the tenants, the tenants get an email have them e-sign an application for an account, then they deposit the funds from the check into that account, once the deposit clears you get a "secure email" (actually the more frustrating part of the system) that has a PDF attached which they ask you forward to your tenant.The language is:"As required by law, the following interest bearing savings account has been opened in your name to hold the security deposit and/or last month’s rent paid under your current lease at: [redacted] You will receive an interest check at the end of each year of tenancy, which will be automatically mailed to the property address listed above. "...Some information about the tenant, myself, and the bank..."

The theme is to make sure it makes sense for you on that first condo purchase. 

A common theme I hear from pro's is to pay in 3-4 parts.

How to buy your first rental how to is the theme..

Spend a ton of times on the success stories forums too and you will pick up themes.  

That's a theme we love to use as often as possible.
