Dear Tenants:I am aware of hazards in the home I rent to you, but I hope you will take action not to get harmed, as I won't.  

For example, this house we are taking down right now, is habitable as is (at least judging by the tenants it is ;- ) but has about $20-$30K that was identified in the inspection and that I really want addressed so that it passes the "Would I want my kids to grow up in this house." test At first I was looking to angle to get the price reduced so that I could get the work done to a quality that I knew, instead of some Craigslist crackhead.

If you've got the kitchen or bathrooms torn out (thus making the property not habitable), then no ad on the planet is going to automatically mean that your property is In Service.

Use hands-free dead time to read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Atomic Habits, and BiggerPockets books.

If you love them and you are in the range of market (there is no such thing as THE market value, its a spectrum) increase their rent an obviously token amount to make sure you stay in the habit of regular increases and then TELL THEM WHY ITS SO CHEAP.
