Better option is to wait to see the leases, with luck they will be M2M or very close to the end of term and you simply non renew.

I'll give you my perspective, take what you like from it..as it is going to be extremely condensed but you'll see the tips of the icebergs at least. 

Plan to make offers on several deals before you get one, and if you see one in a great neighborhood for a price you can live with, you better jump on it quick before the listing goes to multiple offers.To specifically target these owner occupant deals I recommend you visit www.hudhomestore.com and www.homepath.com every day to see the highest concentration of owner occupant foreclosure listings.

I absolutely want someone to walk through the house and see the amazing things!

As far as the rents go, did you see the leases and are you sure you can continue to get that rent should the tenant(s) move out. 

Brady Speers I see the argument for not worrying about having it cleaned, but I actually do recommend it.

My $0.02...I live in Tomball...and for what it is worth, I can't see the market "tanking" anytime soon. 

I havnt had any issues at all with 11180 on my one house and have people lined up to see the other one this week for $1250

Some of them are rough neighborhoods, but you can still see the remnants of old mansions.  

This is why I'm considering both Dublin and Barcelona at the moment.How do you see the current situation with Airbnb regulations affect the rental market in Barcelona?
