Show a not quite finished SFR

Hey BP,

I have a house (my first rental) that is mostly finished besides an unpainted stairwell, tools laying on the counter, and installation of 1/4 round (and that missing cabinet door). 

Practically speaking, what is your advice on showing the house to prospective tenants in this condition? I think it is low risk (as there is no major construction going on) but would like to hear some experiences possibly from an angle I have not yet considered.

Note this house is near Notre Dame in South Bend and classes begin August 23. I have communicated the property will be available September 1 for move in. Just for reference I have provided some pictures.

Thanks!

With this amount of work, I would show it. But honestly, in the time you took to take this picture, you could have attached that cabinet door. Stop posting and start working!
