Plus how hard can renters be? I have renovated rental properties for years. Shy of busting out windows, and damaging cabinets what else can they do. Most renters arent busting holes in drywall. Get a nice family to rent it and just assume if they move out that you may have to spend a few hundred fixing the place up. You can do wonders on a small budget. Plus the deposit of a months rent covers alot in repairs. I would literally spend less than $1000 replacing carpet, repainting, landscaping, and fixing odds and ends stuff when a customer of mine would by a new foreclosed property. I did all the work myself but in 2 days, the house could have been put up for sale and the owner would make $$$$$$$$$$$$
