That should be your guiding light ..

Tenants should be 100% responsible for consumables like air filters, water filters, light bulbs, etc.

This year, between tenants, I will be replacing the carpet with vinyl flooring, updating the bathroom vanity/lighting/mirror, and some other small updates such as changing out light fixtures, and faucets, and switching the old blinds from fresh curtains.

Luckily its only a mile away and a short drive with no street lights or traffic. 

Some cases we are doing light renovations such as adding new kitchen cabinets and granite countertops.

@Benjamin SulkaThis one was mostly cosmetic: paint, carpet/floors, light fixtures, trim, landscape clean up, rodent remediation, bathroom vanities in the 1/2 baths, and some of the windows.Rehabbed one unit at the time aside from the windows.

I chose light colors to open it up more..

Looking for best recommendations when it comes to security cameras, motion sensor lights, key pad locks, ring cameras?

Can you shed any light on this?

You could even use this strategy with your extra cash to buy in cash, do light remodel, and then cash out refinance most if not all your equity.
