After one year of "hardening" your house for renters and paying maybe 1k in PMI, you're ready to rent it out.  

I’m being hardened the hard way.

We can prepare and harden the units that get rented, however, there is NOTHING that can make a unit tenant-proof if the wrong tenants get in.  

I am pretty cut and dry when it comes to the rules (never used to be that way, but life lessons have hardened me a little).

This reduces the time/effort you put into the property, which is also worth money.For the same reasons, I will typically "harden" my rentals using more expensive (but more resilient) flooring, fixtures and doors. 

Whichever way you go you do limit pool- but it’s your property and depends on how hardened it is against damage.

You'll find really good tips here on hardening your rentals, and you'll find it better to just paint all in one color to make it cheaper and easier for future touch-ups.  

Granted, this can be a learning experience about how to harden rentals properly, but it often creates all kinds of nostalgic sentiments that can flare up into conflicts with the tenants.The usual scenario is that the tenants move in, live as tenants do, and the newbie landlords go back in and find delicate stuff, or meaningful stuff, or stuff that they didn't even know was meaningful to them damaged or painted over or disrespected in some way, and then the newbie landlords get in this forum and moan about how tenants just don't respect their landlord's property, and they get ten other newbies commiserating and telling them that yes, yes, yes, they're right, and their tenants are bad, bad, bad...and of course this can lead to all kinds of poor decisions.

Quote from @Nathan Harden: Instead of writing an elaborate response.

I find there are too many hardened battles on this website where people take their approach as the only approach.
