As long as you are screening the tenants/animals well and conducting inspections, I think you'll be fine.

I am in the process of screening a potential tenant, he told me he had a felony from 15 years, he offered to explain but I didn't wanna push unless necessary. 

It's a great way to learn in real life and off the screen.

Definitely check their ID (FB is full of fake profiles) and screen thoroughly.... many, many scams out there right now. 

The heavy cleaning and repair costs after longer stays are definitely pain points but I've seen my clients make it work by screening the tenants more carefully for MTRs, doing bi-monthly checks to catch issues early, and writing clear lease terms about maintaining the property.

Our renters were great, emphasizing tenant screening process, and returned the home in great condition.

You should be have experience vetting and screening.  

For instance where my project was  Lennar was only paying a flat fee of 5k..

I used furnished finder and keycheck to find tenants, screen them, and collect rent/security deposits. 

I've found you can negotiate a flat fee service at a slightly higher cost if you prefer consistency of cost over the risk.Fees - not typically large but transaction and back fees can add up in to the hundreds, if not thousands depending on volume and plan type.Income - additionals.
