Please, please, and please twenty times over video tape and upload this whole ordeal to BP.  

In the two cases that I experienced shocking and insulting conditions it was revealed in one case that the management company owner had never visited the cabin and in the second case the management company owner laid blame with the house keeper for not informing them of the condition of the duct taped, pleather sofas.

Normal rates are 10% around my area.I personally think you could do this without any red tape for a friend on one house.

On the ants (if you retain that tenant), the little black or white ant traps sold over the counter can often go under appliances, or use blue tape and you can even tape them underneath or behind your oven, frig, etc.

Lots of red tape, but people have used it to land that first deal and made it work.

This joker has a sign made from duct tape that reads "Do no disturb".

For instance, heat tape for pipes is really cheap. 

I was charged $25k to bring I new electrical, and brought in more gravel since we didn't have to asphalt the road.

Put the instructions for the tenants in writing and tape them to the door.

Maybe just wrap the pipes with electrical tape, etc. - just don't trust students to know anything a teenager wouldn't know, like how to keep pipes from freezing and that they shouldn't stand on the toilet and pee out the window.
