Especially these days where SS appliances are the same price, there’s no microwave and appears to be no room for one, all doors are flat panel, for a few dollars I would have liked to see them switched out for 6 panel doors, there’s no recessed lighting in the house which is essential IMO when trying to sell a remodeled house, there seems to be wood paneling in the house that was painted over, the bathroom is very bland, and perhaps one of the most important things I noticed is the paint job, there is absolutely no appeal, no color, no anything.

New “white goods” like a range, microwave, fridge, etc. are in the house.

Just like making microwave popcorn doesn't guarantee popcorn lung, but yes if you made a ton and breathed in the vapors, there could be a problem.

Same goes for the microwave.

Same for replacement of broken or missing parts like broken banisters, broken microwave handle, broken window screens, dog faces left in yard,trash, clean out of cabinets and kitchen, etc.

If most people are flying to your destination, it's much harder to get 15-30 or more people together, and those larger homes stand less of a chance.While I've done a bit of research in Galveston, definitely not enough to answer your question.Another angle to consider if it's legal from a short-term rental and ordinance perspective, buy a home with a number of large bedrooms, and create exterior doors to each of them, put in a kitchenette with a microwave and mini-fridge, and rent them separately, in particular if most/all of them can have en-suite bathrooms. 

I believe you are correct that in College Park you can only have one stove, but put a ceramic cooktop or $10 hot plate and a microwave with convection oven or toaster oven in the basement "wet bar" and viola!

An appliance package is about 2k per unit, less if you don't have dishwashers and microwaves.

For a 16ft (4 - 30", 1 36"sink,1- 24" DW,  1 30" microwave cabinet. 2 - 18", 1 30" for island (10 total boxes @$400 each installed)) of counters/cabinets, I'd expect a $6500 cabinet and counter budget which includes sink and hardware.    24sf of cabinet counter + 12sf x $40/sf budget placeholder is $1440.
