What you are asking is how can I get around not doing correct due diligence on the property and the answer is you can't and should not because that isn't fair to the rest of the development who bought there understanding the rules.

I would have simply said they the ceiling fan stays when they move out as its an upgrade and a light fixture is a "fixture" aka once attached to real estate it legally becomes part of the real estate and YOUR (the landlord's) property.

You won't be managing from afar, so find a quality property manager before you find houses.

Hey @Jamie Grossman - I'm a Realtor and Property Manager in Chicago and Northwest Indiana, new to the Bigger Pockets Community but not new to real estate. 

Hello :) I am looking to buy a property to run as an Airbnb in Chattanooga.

I've got 7 doors that I self-manage and i'm set to add some more in the coming year. 

And hiring a property manager will cost you 20-40% of your gross.  

I do currently own one long-term rental property and I'm excited to grow that portfolio.  

I am doing a cash out refi on an investment property I currently own.

A Heloc can "Never" be used as a "liquid" or PITI reserve which is required to buy investment properties.
