If there are damages and you are at fault, there needs to be a target for injured party to hit.

I heard about this guy who had some roof damage.

Here's a few: dress appropriately, have good hygiene, if you have biz cards make them look professional, buy a domain name for your email address, create a website, make sure your online profiles are up to date and professional, have a professional voicemail message, return phone calls and emails, don't give someone a dead fish handshake (own it), listen, take care when writing emails, and the list goes on.

Blaming the previous administration, no matter how deserved, doesn't work if you promised to fix the damage in your first term.

But, you also take a chance with damage with each tenant.

I believe I can charge harder because its not the best area and I carry more risk of my house being damage if they don't pay and I have to foreclose .Well thank you every one

that way is a tile gets damage you can easily take it out and replace and re grout with matcing grout...Renters will JACK UP laminate flooring ... much easier to replace 1 tile than it is to replace a laminate floor.
