@Tiffani HollisFor a long-term rental, I’d avoid used dishwashers entirely—repair costs and reliability issues often outweigh the savings.

If the receipt says what it cost to do the repairs, that amount should be reimbursed.  

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).

An experienced agent would have worked with the seller to do the repairs before they sold, and captured the forced equity in the sale.

You can also write off expenses such as property management, insurance, repairs, etc.

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip. 

If you have the budget for repairs if you rent it out, definitely rent it out!

From there it's up to you on selling. 8 years you should be not breaking even unless this place is in a rough area or needed a ton for repairs over the years.

This can be especially helpful if you’re uncertain about repair assumptions or costs.If it’s a contractor you’ve worked with multiple times, involving them early in the process is often beneficial.

Immediate attention to tenant problems, concerns, and repairs. 5.
