Just check the city's ordinances though before you put them out...some cities and municipalities impose fines to those who put out signs without permits.

If a couple weeks pass and the relationship isn't working out, I'm happy to let clients out of it because I try to avoid unnecessary headaches and wasting my time.

We feel that by having an smaller home we will be more connected and will have less unnecessary stuff.

This is such a small property in such a large County that I doubt you would be "drawing any unnecessary attention." unless something was truly off.    

A reserve is unnecessary, but I still keep around $15,000 - $20,000 in my account.The point is, that you should sit down and assess your finances to determine what the worst-case scenario may look like, how much you would need to cover it without impacting your life, and whether you will need to build a reserve.

Straight am doesn't add that much more for you while IO adds a level of complexity and seller convincing that's unnecessary. 

You will never have pet damage if you do not allow pets, except for those tenants that bring them in anyway.Pet fees will not cover the damage caused by the worst pet owners but imposing pet fees on good pet owners is defiantly a way to increase your profits.

Unnecessary?

You can't screen guests with a photo and name, so it is unnecessary information.
