As @Julia Lyrberg noted, MTRs typically rent for more than LTRs, as they should for a furnished home with utilities included. 

Giving them a laundry list of items will typically just overwhelm them and create more confusion instead of giving them a smaller step process to get more confidence to get the ball rolling and then they can get into the weeds on their state when they get the contractors out there, have local bids come in, and dial in their plan. 

Typical on the Internet though.

Our biggest climate risks in central Texas are typically wind and hail, so anything of concern regarding the roof could get an applicant declined including trees too close to the roof surface, roof over 10 years old, etc.

All the other fancy ways people try and get creative with owning something typically only costs you money and provides zero benefit. 

I got the terms mixed with open mortgage (no penalty to pay off early, but higher interest rates) and closed (more typical mortgage with lower rates, but the penalties to pay off the mortgage)...that'll teach me not to post too early in the morning :)

Mine typically do provide pictures of anything observed to be out of the norm when they arrive at the property to clean.Sorry for the confusion! 

If you are buying in a LLC there is typically a loan agreement and personal guarantee that is common

A six-month supply is typically considered a balanced market.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.
