New 200 amp circuit panel, Culligan water softner, new washer/dryer, and a deep clean Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

these tenant friendly laws seldom matter because the vacancy is so low the tenants want to stay in their units and realize an eviction will make it challenging to ever find a quality rental in this market.  

Also, consider this copy & paste advice below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Tons of deferred maintenance and a lot of work to do to clean up this mess. 

Then an appraisal works to my benefit and the quality of the property would be very close (as I said the property I purchased had relatively cosmetic renovations such as painted cabinets).

High-quality photos and detailed property descriptions are key. 

I don't care much about soap and shampoo, but quality TP is something they will definitely notice.

There are plenty of investors out there already looking for quality management, just be that. 

You want not only qualified tenants (credit score, income, background checks, etc.) but quality tenants.
