I'd be cautious about excluding pets if you're concerned about vacancy.C) While much better tenants (very little wear and tear on your property, good for rent, pass background checks), there is a need for many STR amenities (security conscious with parking spaces and the home, have nice bed/sheets/cooking supplies/coffee maker, high speed internet a plus - having great TV wasn't a deal breaker for those we surveyed)D) Mixed input on the proximity. 

Hi Almalfi,Based on the info, the best bet would be to try to entice them through discounted rent, hotel/Air BnB, even a free TV or something to get the contractor in.

Straight shot down the road to Apple campuses but it is still a far drive.

I own a condo in Apple Valley, MN that is currently a long-term rental property.

If you have the budget TV ads and radio works well too.
