All we really have to do is paint, which supplies for that will be free due to my dad having a surplus.

When we refused she blew us into the USPS who insisted that we supply her with a regulation mailbox that was much smaller & according to the USPS we were ONLY required to have the name of the current resident on it.

Does anyone have any advice on these two areas, particularly if they think supply will be stronger in the summer or if the market is just really that tight?

We add to this by considering "point" data nearby that are related to supply, demand, performance, and risk.

We are seeing the average 3 bed 2 bath with minimal rehab running in the 150K-200K range and property taxes are currently low, creating a good opportunity here to prop up the rental market which is slowly running out of supply to the increased demand. 

LTR’s are also in tight supply and demand high.  

@Steven Andrews If you want to do a no money out of pocket deal, bring in a partner to supply the money.

Also, I'm not seeing a vacancy rate, utility expenses, admin costs (city license fees, accounting fees, office supplies, etc).

While this demand may be poised to take up the additional new supply, millennial demand may not align with the price point and areas that will see the sharpest rise in the supply of available homes.

Just change the admin passwords if you’re concerned about security.Cable router and supply them with WiFi name & password, we’ve never had any issues.
