After this tenant leaves, you must clean/repair, market, screen applicants, select an applicant, collect the deposit and rent, get them moved in, etc.

Even if you want to invest a year from now, cleaning up your money is the most important thing to do.

The tenants are reasonably clean, so no issue with trash or critters. 

You need to do more than a day of fixups - painting, carpet steam cleaned, cleaning all drawers and appliances, exterior touchups.You have a "perfect" process set out, but it's one that will push you to make a bad tenant decision and not vet them properly.

We plan to remove the carpet next year and install LVF to increase property's value and potentially bump the rent. 

I also recommend including some move-out instructions for cleaning, how to turn in keys, when they will get the deposit back, etc. 

In accordance with the lease agreement, the property shall be fully vacated, cleaned, and returned in the same show quality condition upon move-in.

Even if the area is cleaned up, I wouldn't purchase any rental real estate in Kensington, Fishtown or Northern Liberties for a few years.

You should really have hard floors instead of carpet but if the carpet has a few years left you can change them with the tenant moves out.

Vrbo and Airbnb makes it pretty easy to self-manage.Add a great cleaning team and you are 95% of the way there.Its good to locate handymen and the like but those are easy to find on local FB groups or thumbtack.
