People are so emotional and just throw things away.

Acting on emotion and ego when buying or selling.

You can use a temporary google number in the listing to get past that hurdle for phone calls and texts but you will still get mailers.

(Note that this is the typical arrangement for Airbnb rentals and other temporary rental-type properties.)Rental property used on a transient basis is depreciated over a 39-year period, not over 27.5-years as is the case with longer-term residential rental property (LTR). 

This will allow you to make decisions about the property without emotion and the PM can handle the tough conversations.

(I use "staging" to mean temporary furniture when selling a property.)

Be open and ready to be contacted by insurance / temporary housing agencies.

@Michael Baum @Jon Martin @Andrew Steffens @Jonathan Greene @Marie ThomasThanks everyone for your comments, I really appreciate it - I shouldn't let myself be emotionally affected by these incidents. 

Quote from @Melissa Crimp: It helps if you learn to run it like a business instead of letting your emotions get in the way.

Having said that the tenant did pay for them and they were temporary and had them done by a professional and will pay to have them removed when they leave (they've been there almost 10 years at this point).If the PM told the tenant they can have the repairs done, have your person go and look at them to see if they were done properly.
