I don't know if it is the best choice, but it is the rationnal.One problem is the large variation of the $ to Euro exchange rate, but there is a diversification advantage and this effect should be less important on the long termDue to the cost of having one LCC per house, I think I will stay as it is for now and may reconsider the situation later on if I pursue my investments.This leads me to another question.

Try different word variations to see if something else comes up.

Everything from foundation to the doorbell.Add on land/hardscaping.Huge variations in each, and very dependent on current state of the lot (and BIG variations in different parts of the country and urban/rural).

A variation on this is buying a 2/3 plex and living in one side, fixing up everything, once it's done rent out your place and buy another one, repeat. 

Then you can have the variations in-between.

Looks like we're going to attempt a variation on what I was thinking and offer the tenant a portion of their deposit back if they'll vacate the property quickly and in good condition.

I agree with most of the comments above, the eagle does not play an important role in fact you could probably just use some variation of "green" "recycle" type icons and a home.

A variation? 

A lot of good suggestions here which I also follow, although with some variations (I look for 2.5x the rent in verifiable income, for example).  

I have done a similar variation on this strategy though (see below)A few more ideas...Cons: Tenants who already have plenty of furniture (and then some) may be turned off; Turn overs can be tougher with more items to clean, inspect, track, or move (work around) for painting, cleaning, etc.
