The link says that there is a $20 fee, but that is waved for first time visitors.

If a house appreciates at a suitable percentage it's an asset. 

Your lease should clearly state "No unauthorized animals, to include visitors or pet-sitting.

If it was your tenants dog yes but as a visitor you may not be obligated to allow an emotional support dog.

Cater to a broader swath of the renters that visit, or just make them all "A class"?

I even considered renting but suitable properties are $4500+ monthly and good luck securing one.. 

I would imagine places like the Heights and Montrose to be popular but not sure if there would be something suitable in my price range. 

@Izzy Zeigler the third option is to tell the tenant you will attempt to find a replacement, but if you cannot find one, then they are on the hook until a suitable tenant can be found.

No, only Columbus, Ohio is suitable for real estate investing

I'd wager it's more like 98% of BP forum visitors will also never actually do a deal.I think what you're seeing is a return to the 2007 mentality: if I (as a wanna-be investor) don't get a deal RIGHT NOW, then I might never get one!
