I would take down all the mirrors and paint the wall.  

How can I look myself in the mirror if I don't inform others of what I've seen, what I've lived, what I've experienced. 

Check rates and how full similar property's calendars are to get an idea on what you could make with a similar property.Then you can run the number son your mortgage utilities and misc expenses and see what it looks like.If you dump all the data into a spreadsheet with hyperlinks to comparable properties it is easy to spot trends and update your numbers for different variables.

I have been to a few myself but there is a lot of smoking mirrors in the majority of them. 

Are the forms online for Smartmove focused on background and criminal checks or are they mirror images of what tenants would be physically filling out for me?

You're looking at smoke and mirrors, folks. 

Installed all of our prepped items mirrors, vanities, everything we had worked on for the past 2 months!

I was a prosper.com lender until the NC DOJ instituted a cease and desist order that mirrored the federal order (see http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2008/33-8984.pdf) They now meet SEC requirements, but the NC order is still in place.

And you had perfectly good assets being lost as the loans matured there was no way to refi and the underlying lenders foreclosed on perfectly good working assets because the owners could not retire debt in cash they had always banked on the ( OH MY BANK WILL roll the 20 due in 5 over they always have).. when they did not boom.. but I don't want to dwell on it I darn near ended up a statistic and its way in the rear view mirror.. but a combination of mortgage market  liar loans  credit freeze .. build stopped  jobs lost this all fed into it.take our PDX market .. 10k homes or doors built a year or more from 1990 to 2008... 2009   700 total that's all.. next year 1500 next year 2500 next year 3500 next year 5000 plus.. 

Your story here almost identically mirrors mine - my wife and I started renting out our guest bedroom on Airbnb, and then when that sold out we started offering up our own bedroom and crashing at my M-I-L's house.
