This is the heart of the reason housing isn't mroe affordable, that landlords bear these types of costs every day.You could probably find cheaper labor, especially to haul away the junk, but not easily as an out of state investor. 

These specialized companies, easily found online or here, will create your company’s SD 401(k) plan.

Once you master it, its an awesome tool.Like the other members say, you can easily find it online, however, i strongly recommend you watch the videos (that come with the calculator when you buy it for a lil over $100) so you can learn how to use it properly.

I understand why this is the choice asset for many: they are inexpensive with no barrier & easily financed (easily attainable). 

You can have the package list as a note on your phone or PMS and send it to them easily if they ask what is included.

This also leaves me with $3,750 stuck in the deal (not including financing and closing costs, which could easily add another $20,000).In total, if I had to include closing costs and financing costs, I’d have about $23,000 (if not more) tied up in the deal and lose close to $700/month before accounting for expenses.

Average rents are $1,250 (Again Zillow) Easily a losing propostion.

I mean myself and any bank would need more details, but if you utilize that large sum as a downpayment and have a small mortgage, wouldn't you easily qualify for the debt to income?

You can continue to reach out to the entire company looking for updates but again I will be the one to reach out as I get further direction."
