Your current tenant is veteran, and when you raise the rent, they submit a VA voucher.  

Next best, take a LOT of photographs, keep receipts for all expenditures and records of your personal time, make notes about what you did and why.

I know several very wealthy, seasoned veterans with 100+ properties who use excel for managing their business.

I look forward to hearing more feedback, especially from the veteran landlords.

But, I'm not a camera guy so I really don't know what to look for except that I need a DSLR camera in order to get photographs with the whole room and not just a corner of a room.I won't take enough photographs to justify the expense of buying a new DSLR camera.

One that even a seasoned veteran like myself isn't willing to stomach in most cases.

We bought close to a university, rehabbed, decorated and hired a professional photographer.

The only  advice I have for you is have a professional photographer take photos of the home!
