I assumed some would need replaced, which would be okay, but I would hate to see it all trashed.I guess in that vein though, I hear that a lot about LTRs -- the horror stories -- and we have been blessed with amazing tenants (generally) so I was thinking it would be along the same line where it would be something where you would want to charge high-end and screen intensely to try to get a tenant that just is transitioning and can benefit from the furnishings.I know that could still happen though, even with all the precautions you can take, so it's something good to consider! 

NO, but that sounds like the one I need

It sounds like you / your parents should just hire a professional property manager for the inherited properties.  

You are very brave for doing this, but it sounds like a rewarding adventure!

Looking for peoples opinions if the quoted costs are fair to take off the security deposit.TYIA  The charges don't sound bad at all.

How often are you replacing furniture and taking new photos?

Adding paint and replacing flooring is not going to add much value in the typical case.  

I will back it up with sound logic.  

Changing careers can certainly be a challenge, but it sounds like you're equipped with a solid foundation thanks to your sister's support.
