If so, then the "move-in costs" section will also be blank.Also there is a clause with "tenant will provide landlord a list of items that are damaged or not in operable condition" but that applies to last year, supposedly now, they would have let me know had anything broken.

Unless I get tenants from hell, I do not see any damages that could happen to this property that could wipe out my $6000/year.

It's very strong and to take a hammer to bash up the tile tends to also damage the plaster/drywall in the adjacent rooms.

If they don't serve the notice in person and physically hand the notice to the resident, then you can only get a judgement for possession and not for monetary damages.

I will handle repairing the damages.  

I found 5 unit property  recently that exceeded the 2% rule in Clarksville TN but had so much hidden damage it was a no go. 

if super close to storm damage area many would assume the insurance or bank had sent someone out.

I don't believe you are factoring in the different level of damage and misuse that renters do to a property

I only had damages once, a burned carpet, the parent was a doctor and he simply said let me know how much and I'll send you a check, which he did, no questions asked.

It's tough to calculate it before a claim, because it is levied against that which is damaged.
