I’d love to see whatever rental comps you have.thanks again   Feel free to PM me your email address and I'll send them over to you.

I do not feel comfortable going back over there after how they acted during the inspection.Do you think they will have legal grounds to move forward with suing or rent escrow actions given the following circumstances 1) "as-is" language in the lease (pasted below); 2) nothing about smell is included on the pre-move-in inspection; and 3) the city inspector was already out and stated there was no violation?

Within a few months you should get a good  feel as to what your average occupancy rate will be.  

People felt invaded by putting a picture of their property on the card and I can imagine they would feel the same way with you putting a picture of yourself in front of their house. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions
