@Colleen F. no assumptions here actual complaints from owner.

Your assumption one of the renters brought in the bed bugs.  

Most importantly, check the pitch's assumptions and assess the risks you're taking vs the realistic potential you can get.Finally, I'm not sure what's your motivation for investing there and whether you've visited the country.

Charge rent and a security deposit based on this assumption.

If it is most valuable now and will become less valuable over the next few years AND you'll want to sell your home at that point it time then you'd want to sell now and capture those toppy gains.However, there are so many assumptions and factors at play here that it isn't so simple.

This is with fairly conservative operating assumptions and revenue expectations. 

Sounds like you're making a lot of assumptions on something that hasn't happened yet.
