A full lead free certificate is only needed once and a one time fee to register as lead free.The other test is a combination of visual and dust swipes. 

The goal of the late fee should be two-fold... to serve as a deterrent for paying late and to provide compensation to you for your trouble and loss.3.

We primarily do this as a deterrent.

I will definitely look into those links since I want to network with constructors and estimating rehab costs is my biggest deterrant. 

Pictures with furniture in the rooms does give potential tenants a good visual of the space. 

Perhaps including a floorplan diagram would help tenants visualize the three units in the house? 

It seems to be working as a deterrent and I've only had to charge it one time. 

I drive by monthly and do a visual inspection to make sure the grass is mowed and there are no cars parked on the lawn, etc.

The new ordinance will enforce going from passing the visual inspection stated now to 12 dust samples testing and that's where the issue is.  

My question is how often does a typical real estate investor use some kind of software like photoshop or other fancy softwares to really visualize the change before they start working on it ?
