I have had good tenants for 6 months, however I found out during their occupancy in winter (the season they moved in), they were keeping the temperature at 26 Celsius (79 F) in the house all the time.

You will eventually get high occupancy rates with a good daily rate to achieve high net profit if you consistently get good reviews from a platform like Airbnb. 

I inform the insurance agent that we have acquired the property and we will be getting the property occupant ready so it is understood the property is vacant during the repairs.We carry a $1,000.00 deductible and if the repairs are $1600.00 we pay it out of our pocket.

Then we will return the security deposit in accordance with our final inspection and report, as necessary by landlord-tenant law.Change of household make up is common, so we have a procedure in place to add or subtract authorized occupants, as well as change the terms of the rental agreement to change the names of the tenants who are jointly and severally liable to the agreement or to increase the amount of the security deposit, if warranted.

That is likely when I plan to buy my first rental property as an owner occupant.

I've spent quite a bit of time reading the standard Trust Deeds that come with conventional mortgages, and none of them explicitly prohibit transferring title to the collateral, they almost always speak to the beneficial interest or rights of occupancy.

If you live on a property that is Smoke free by order of the owner and inforced by a written lease from the non owner occupents then I think the next time you smell smoke you should take the only prudent course of action and get out of the house say to the front porch ( where your tenant might be sitting) then you might take the prudent action of calling the Fire Department of course you should loudly warn your tenant that there appears to be a fire due to the smell of smoke on your non smoking property and that you are calling the fire department so they can check it out.

Occupancy rates, P&L statement, etc?

They choose instead to go to the sore to return and buy something then deal with some outsourced nightmare phone company being used for customer service returns.Most of my clients do not buy big box but centers with multiple tenants for better break even occupancy.

As a person who was an owner occupant in the neighborhood, living there was a good experience.
