What I mean is to resist the urge to write up a bunch of new rules and contracts that are tougher than necessary or create too much change right off the bat.And raise the rent in small increments, if you want to keep good tenants.

We buy nice cloth or pliable plastic ones, mildew resistant, not the cheap kind.

That would cover 30k down payment plus allow you to put 6k in the bank.You're going to need to have at least that in the bank when holding rentals.In terms of flipping though, that might be a path of least resistance in terms of financing.
