If it went to the subfloor - mop with bleach mixture, let dry; roll on two coats of Kilz and one coat of clear sealer. 

I video recorded the home before she came to walk through. she started pulling up the couch cushions and and wiping every surface with her fingers.

Plus, a new managment company were the past ones were milking us dry on repair costs. 

For most of the homes the carpets alone were $3200 to $4900 plus two coats of paint on every wall and ceiling, replacing broken bathroom sinks, kitchen sinks, faucets, repairing air conditioners, replacing cracked times on roof 36 feet high, bringing in 4 to 8 tons of rocks to make the yards look nice, trimming trees, repairing sprinkler systems and the piping, replacing refrigerators, stoves, washing machines clothes dryers, water heaters, painting garage floors ceilings and walls, bringing in 20-yard trash bins to remove all the carpets, trees trimmings and trash left by tenants, replacing all the window blinds, door knobs that are broken and locks for the main door and locks for the garage door so the keys match, repairing garage door openers that are broke, repairing the garage door rollers and seals, painting the trim outside the house, replacing facia boards that are 36 feet high, replacing window screens and the screens on sliding doors, replacing entire windows just because tenants broke the window locks and they cannot be repaired, replacing kitchen counter tops that are destroyed, replacing all the kitchen doors and drawers because tenants destroyer the cabinets by hanging their wet laundry in the kitchen cabinet doors to dry. replacing garbage disposers, dishwashers and the list goes on and on.

You can have these people give you visual reports so you know if the tenants are destructive.Otherwise, if you vet your tenants, you'll tend to get people who are respectful and care about getting their deposit back, so they will take good care of the property.That said, property managers can't make money if they milk their clients dry.

Fingers crossed it stays strong enough for a decent profit 

Fingers crossed it keeps going up, but it's really a crap shoot.

One options is to put dry wall directly, which would make first room very small and second room very big.
