A month later the tenant moved out and owed rent and damages around $3,000.

Storm damage would commonly be covered by your homeowners insurance.10.

Really low prices bring dregs and all the work you did could get damaged.

some roofs, tree damage and trash strewn around. 

Would be useful as a landlord when the tenant moves in/out to reference for damage. 

One option you might try is to go to Bi- Weekly Payments, this way you collect on the same cycle as their paychecks.As long as both of your tenants still have their jobs, I would ride it out, the 2nd thing is how are they maintaining the property, are you going to have to spend thousands of dollars on repairs because of damage to the property.

I just started working with THD, I had the same situation as Shankar RamaniI had a 3/2 SFH posted for LTR, they reached out asking if I am open to short term rental, I was hesitant first but after searching the company and their business model, I was willing to take the risk if they pay me a good premiumThe person who reached out to me works with the insurance side of THD ( they have corporate leasing department too), and her tenant had a fire damage in their house so the insurance company wanted the tenant to stay somewhere until the house repair is done.

Tenant shall be responsible for any property damage caused by failing to maintain utilities or report utility problems in a timely manner.Tenant Utilities: ______________________________________________________________Pass-through Utilities: _________________________________________________________Utilities included with rent: ____________________________________________________Propane: If applicable, Tenant shall return the propane tank level to at least _______% upon termination.

Sixteen homes to inspect- roofs, hot water tanks, soft floors, siding damage, decks, porches, furnaces. 

If you are trying to piece everything together yourself remotely I think the time and brain damage and extra cost in time and cash you would be better to go yourself and do it.
