Get good at ball parking estimates, place an offer if they accept then use your inspection period to perform the in depth report.

That's probably a six of one, half dozen of the other type thing, but a HELOC will show as available credit on your report, which could have other impacts down the road.

I tell them if the oven isn't clean they can save themselves some money and time by going to the store and purchasing two cans of easy-off while they wait.If they coat the oven and racks with easy-off (no generics) and leave an empty and full can on the counter then I charge $30 for the oven clean otherwise it's $150 -- this is in my move-in condition report which is part of the lease. 

We will delay signing until we get a inspection report that says all is good or the damage has been repaired.

I don't make phone calls to let people know that there's nothing to report. 

I bought 5 single family rental homes this year so I have a lot of negative cash flow to report on taxes.  

@Frank GrecoWhile Florida does not have a state income tax; New Jersey(which I assume is where you live) does have an income tax.As a NJ resident; you are required to report worldwide income which would include the income from rentals located in FL.Having an FL LLC or a NJ LLC that registers in Florida will not change the above scenario.The good thing is that rentals often report a tax loss as a result of depreciation; but this is something to consider when you run out of depreciation and mortgage interest which may put you in the taxable income territory.
