I'm not an agent in Utah, but @Mike Palmerseems to have hit the nail on the head regarding the appraisal contingency.  8.2(a) and 8.2(b) are the clauses that 24(c) refers to.  

All staples, nails, tack strip and adhesives have to be removed.

Mud, tape, nails, sprayer tips, etc are all provided by the contractor and he knows this up front to include in his quote.  

If you polish your tenant managing skills you won't have to look for the best "landlord-friendly states", you can buy cash flow properties around your town.

I’d be interested in joining your squad - I’ve got the marketing and comma nailed, just need a good cleaner and a repairman.

That’s why people get a “NO” so often.The best advice I can give you or anyone is to take on this mind set and add to your problem solving tools.”if the only tool you have in your toolbox is a hammer, all your good for is nails.”PSS  please don’t take this as a rebuke.  

The longer a resident has resided in a property the more allowance or pro-rations must be given for wear and tear.Notice that normal wear and tear does not include dirt – excessive dirt is considered negligence, carelessness, accident or abuse.Wear and TearDamagesSmall nail holes caused by a mechanical fastener (nail, screw, etc) utilized to hang or secure standard pictures, frames and other items on walls.Larger holes from hanging shelving, large pictures, wall anchors, toggle bolts, flat screen television brackets or any other wall hanging that causes damage larger than small typical fastener.

If you need to park tons of money, or just want safer investments, with consistent returns, but not as much appreciation needed then all those cities named are good places but Azeez hit the nail on the head. 

At that point, at least I already have the asset in hand.You nailed it with that statement.

@Jd MartinI would let the tenant put nail holes in the wall and deal with the patching when they move out.
