The tenant has expressed multiple times the desire to change things (paint) but never actually did so I am taking this with a grain of salt and told her we would discuss again when she is ready to move forward.Whenever that tenant moves out, I would probably have to replace the current carpet due to age and mini blinds are also old (but functional), which is why I am considering the idea.In any case, I would be reviewing quotes, finances and contractor and figure out a way to make sure the work will be finished before I OK the change.

Make sure the kitchen and baths are in good/excellent shape and visually pleasing.  

In the last 16 years I have worked in various functions as it relates to finance, real estate and construction.

Clint - I think what Jay is saying here is that the form and function of your question reveals that you do not yet have the intellectual worth which would make you appealing to money.

I'm told that fridges are not worth repairing and to just replace them if they stop functioning.

I am trying to visualize what it would look like.

I am thinking about getting rid of the bathtub and leaving just a shower to open up the space a bit, maybe add some storage and make it more visually appealing.

If visual or swipe (max 12) passes, property is not required for another 6 years inspection, Otherwise, 3 years only. 

My inspector suggested I insulate the crawl space of the home as it is where the furnace is located; however, it is an older (but functional) unit that will eventually be moved to the attic once it dies.

You can automate rent collection and other functions as well.
