All a tenant really cares about is, are there windows, and (maybe) will those windows stay up or will they fall down and need to be propped up to stay open.However, depending on the old windows you may not be able to get a lead certificate, which you need to legally rent an apartment in RI.

It's been vacant since then twice for 2 months.....totally rented 3 years.Tax=$60/moHOA=$197/moInsurance+Rental certificate=$30/moLet's say PM=$100/moNOI=$538/mo -- $6456/year.However, because there were nothing done cosmetically, there are plenty maintenance/updates like flooring on first floor replaced, washer/dryer got bad - replaced, dishwasher stopped working etc - 15% in maintenance which is quite high.So, all together, the property was rented for 40 months and updates counted as $150/mo.So, we have about $4700/year NOI.
