The tenant took photos and filed a police report and there seemed to only be damage to the door. 

Your photo strategy is pretty awful.Try to think about this from the perspective of a advertisement.The front page of your advertisement has 3 of the same photos of the living room.

I actually can't tell which photos are your rent house versus the used cabinets.

An alternative is to ensure you have plenty of quality photos of everything, and I'd also do a video walkthrough/virtual tour of the property as well and give applicants a link to the video/tour.I'd follow what @Nick C. mentioned and maybe to a verbal screen off the bat to ensure that the property is right for them and they meet your criteria.

I know that I could create a great listing with excellent photos of the interior, but I'm afraid of a negative first impression on the guest when they pull up to the house and feel "less than impressed" or worried that the INside of the house might look like the OUTside.It's January, 2022 as I write this, and we've had snow on the ground in Michigan for a few months - so I can't do landscaping right now, but spring IS right around the corner. 

MAYBEif you know the neighborhoods and can interpret the house from the photos you might offer sight-unseen. 

You inspect the property and take photos and measurements with enough detail the contractors can at least start an estimate and get you on the books.2.

This is what I do:123 Straight St - Fourplex  - COMMON AREA     - 2020-01-20 Inspection     - 2020-06-21 Landscaping damage     - 2020-07-10 Laundry room and hallway trashed     - 2020-07-30 Laundry room and hallway painted and cleaned     - 2020-10-06 Inspection  - UNIT A     - 2020-01-20 First marketing pictures     - 2020-02-01 Johnson-Smith move in     - 2020-07-10 Johnson-Smith inspection     - 2021-01-29 Johnson-Smith out     - 2021-02-15 Jacobs move in  - UNIT B  - UNIT C2965 Narrow Way Ave - SFH  - 2016-06-01 First marketing pictures  - 2016-07-05 Walker moves in  - 2016-10-01 Inspection and violations  - 2016-10-15 Inspection and corrected violations  - 2016-12-06 Walker abandoned  - 2017-01-20 After renovations  - 2017-02-10 Owens-Kirkhoff move inThe problem with the method above is there's no clear structure for documents, so you may want to try something different:PROPERTY   - UNIT A      - PHOTOS         2020-01-02 After renovation and marketing         2020-02-15 Smith before move-in         2020-06-10 Dog damage to lawn      - DOCUMENTS      - LEASES         - JOHN AND PATTY SMITH         - JANE DOE AND ROBERT BLACKWELLI probably prefer this option over the former for a small landlord.

After digging into it more, turns out there was a scammer using his photos/address to set up fake listings.

Impossible to assess without seeing it, or seeing photos.
