It will make the place more attractive and easier to rent, though.  

You get more money from Private Money Lenders, You attract more wholesalers, etc.  

With 4 bedrooms they tend to attract families and families stay in the house a long time which decreases turnover expenses. 

Then in 2 years go back in and remodel to make the home attractive to buyers.

The ratio for Omaha is 2.26 - very attractive.  

We're either going to lease or buy the place, so help making my offer attractive would be awesome.

Also, I have heard that some judges think cleaning is part of normal wear and tear, so be careful there.I wouldn't try to show the unit until you get it back and fix it up, otherwise you are only going to attract another filthy tenant.

Tenants are also attracted to newer properties, especially in great neighborhoods with desirable school districts. 

I suspect your monthly payment is very small.. so if you make it attractive to the contract buyer IE easy to get in and payment lower than rent you stand a 50/50 chance they will keep making payments for 5 years and since they are going to owner occ they will pay more for the home ITs the what will it cost me a month mentality.

It would be better to just hand over your wallet and walk away, then giving a criminal another tool to commit more crimes.
