Once upon move out, we had tenants claim that the plumber that had only months before replaced the wax ring and re-set the toilet left it all loose and wobbly with a broken seat and they refused to take responsibility for it's condition.  

Not to mention, your tenants will not be too excited to be without a working septic system for potentially weeks to months out of the year (think no toilets or showers).

. - New tenet fees - Small toilet leak (should’ve barely changed things)After those bullet points, no explanation for low cashflow. 

Even paid listings isn't really worth squat. 

Quote from @Glen Wiley:and for some people going from punching a keyboard and sipping Starbucks, to changing dirty sheets, cleaning other people's toilets, and putting up with all the customer service craziness is not as fun as it looks on TV.

.- Bathroom surround: white subway tile (3"x6" I think)- Bathroom toilet: white- Bathroom vanity: vanity with top.- Kitchen sink.

Likely the roof and the HVAC/furnace will be the biggest expenses that might occur but a hot water heater here, a clogged toilet there and suddenly the bills start adding up.

toilets can easily be replaced (if the current one isn't white) and you can have the tub professionally reglazed. 

Leaking toilets not installed properly, gaping hole in roof, holes left in siding, tile laid incorrectly which will need to be replaced, not installing the back splash properly.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.
