Do this, don't do that....

Howdy. Just bought a 35 unit APT Complex. It is built in 1980, brick on the outside. What should I do to remodel them? Pros and cons? 

My thinking right now: 

1. Paint brick white on the outside for new look (not top priority)

2. Replace all appliances

3. Rip up carpet, all vinyl flooring

4. Repaint walls something other than white, maybe a nice grey or another color someone suggest. 

5. Replace light fixtures with LEDs

6. Replace bathroom toilets and shower

@Noah Swope

Impossible to determine without knowing the condition and type of building

If it does not need to be done and does not provide any added value then why do it?

For example, swapping off the lights if the tenants pay electricity wow, nice to be energy efficient does not provide any value to use the owner. If the exterior of the building looks adequate why paint white to then add continuous maintenance to the building?
