We've done about a dozen SFH's for rental and have standardized on just about everything, some examples: Formica counter tops (always the same color/style), the same RTA kitchen cabinets, inexpensive tile (from HD or Lowes) in kitchens, baths and sometimes hallways, NEVER carpet anywhere instead we go with hardwoods or laminate, use the same paint color on all walls and trim, the same replacement windows (when needed),builders/contractors lights (from HD or Lowes) ...the list goes on and on.

You can add a vending machine, laundry facility, customize interior colors different than the apts around you, etc.

I like your color selections.

I would definitely examine the property with a fine toothed comb as $300/year per unit is very low.

If it doesn't work within 30 days just look under you pillow for a special gift from the tooth fairy.

I think I've seen a form of this too- the house we contracted in November and close don in January is still listed as active on realtor.com, along with the house we didn't get that closed in December.

Everybody will see it all along (any change and the neighbors can let you know), and it will keep your phone ringing (so you can fill any vacancy faster too).The house has not been "for rent" for over three years.

They were always late, had dogs, chickens, painted rooms absurd colors, and got paint everywhere. 

Lots of colorful responses, thanks BP community! 

For this list we have been doing professionally typed business letters with our company name, put inside a invitation style envelope (off yellow color) and hand wrote the address with red ink, we also added an urgent stamp as well!
