Here my proposition:Go to a mall and ask people, "Excuse me, I really like your shirt (or hat).

If you're interested in that area let me know and bring your hard hat!

A few weeks later she made a claim hat there were mice it in the house, but there was no proof and did not allow my property manager to enter the property to get it inspected.By this time the property manager hinted that most of these things were minor and that in her lease it stated she was responsible for any pests inside the house. 

(sure equitable interest may or may not hold up to judicial scrutiny though, from a business perspective, hanging your hat on this legal theory seems unwise)Being a broke college student who had no experience and wanting to do everything right, you'll have a hard time assigning these contracts since you don't have an established list of buyers who trust your judgement or some other way to demonstrate your expertise.

If you own the property you need to take off the owner hat and realize at that moment you are working for the owner and need to do what is best for them.

I'm not sitting around wearing a monocle and top hat here. 

Hats off to you @Steve K. - Brilliant post!
