@Scott Taylor you may also want record and motion sensing features.

You need to study basic business law, taxation, regulatory issues like Truth-In-Advertising, the Fair Credit Act, aspects of the Uniform Commercial Code and the rules that are applied to business that apply to all business activities, not just real estate.

No matter what, real estate is like the ocean... it's always in motion!

Additionally, if I want to check on motions to strip the second, where do I go to search for that?

Second we replaced the old motion light on the side of the garage with a new, super bright LED unit (don't buy the cheap one) and added a second one on the street side of the garage and a third one on the backside of the house.

A turnkey solution, will advance your portfolio though simple means of risk diversification, uniform/standardized materials, ease of maintaining, most important accountability. 

Lots of running around, writing up contracts, going through all the motions only to hear...I don't think I want this property.

I'd also do uniform throughout - ditch the carpet altogether or only do it depending on the climate.

I suggest they pass out flyers promoting their services.I had a tenant that was able to fix broken windows, I helped him with a flyer, told him to get a nice workmanlike uniform to look professional.

If you had to, you could file a motion to intervene and ask for the court to set the amount of redemption.
