@Connor HeimMost small dollar units of property that you mention can be expensed under the 'de minimis safe harbor' by making an election on your return.A competent CPA will ask for a ledger or detail of the supplies account and fixed assets accounts to make sure everything is where it needs to be for tax efficiency.

If not finding new tenants is something of a concern for you then you will need a way to market your property efficiently.

Because they know about properties that are going to hit the market before I do (or anyone else for that matter).
