Here's a couple of examples:In the shot above, the camera exposed for the background sky thus making this room that's actually probably pretty bright into a dark cave - which most renters don't like.Here the white surfaces of the bathroom fooled the camera into underexposure.

I sell new homes too and so all in price is tough to know on the surface.

In other words you will keep the tenants that ignore potentially damaging conditions because you are looking to cash in on them.A tenant sees that the roof is leaking but decides to rig up some makeshift drainage in the attic so Ebenezer doesn't hit them for $75. 2 years later after they move out the the rig up gives way and what would have been a simple repair 2 years ago now makes the home uninhabitable.

Depends on what this person actually does,, our turns were 24 hour turns out at noon in at noon next day.. we gave caretakers like 135.00 for 1 br,, 150 for 2br and studio was 100. we had painter separate, carpet cleaner separate, and maintenance guy was separate.. we had 120 unit complex and my caretakers were anxious to get any turn they could.. so between 2 or 3 of them we could do 10 to 12 turns a month.. we supplied all the cleaning supplies. they did stoves, refrigerators, all windows, tubs, sinks, all light fixtures, and washed hard surface floors in kit , bath. 3 to 4 days is WOW  cheaper to hire merry maids.. and get it done quicker..Get some additonal people lined up to help and set the pace.. and rate.. if this person can't get it done faster then you need someone else to do turns and maybe this guy can do something else more productive.. 

On the other hand, if your yard drains back toward the house, you will get water intrusion from surface runoff. 

Directly depositing into your bank account sounds great on the surface until a professional tenant whom your evicting deposits $1 into that account w/out your knowledge on his way to eviction court.

@Kim Meredith HamptonThe septic system was just repaired and the backyard had drainage issues which were saturating the drainfield.

The pads never even crossed my mind.All of our rentals we try to use some type of hard surfaced flooring as well. 

Their urine smell can ruin any porous surface like carpet, sheetrock (drywall) & even some vinyl floors.

Warning here::::: Don't be alarmed if after a few levels you feel some emotion come to the surface...
