@Peter Morgan this is standard practice in the insurance industry. 

But, after buying the property when you practically start doing the rehab, you discover many smaller works that need to be done.

And some good learning lessons discovered!

Recently I logged onto our bank account, and discovered the $ going into escrow is a lot higher than before.

That used to be standard wording in a lot of contracts.

If you buy in a location where prices and rents are increasing below the inflation rate, your only option will be to decrease your standard of living over time.

@Jason Greany I don't think there is a standard market company willing to take this on. 

What are features standard in the homes you build?

If they do, that is an early sign that that person may not be the right tenant to occupy your property.Collect DepositsThe standard security deposit is usually equal to one month’s rent, but some states law allows property owners to collect up to two months’ rent for a security deposit.

As soon as I discovered the dog, I asked the renter to sign the pet addendum and started charging monthly pet rent.
