Screen tenants throughly but reasonably.Depending on your area eliminate some ‘non value adds’ which can cost you time & money - water lines to fridge, ice makers, etc.Create a plan what you want it to look like - uniform color scheme in houses, common light fixtures, pulls on cabinets, etc.Even if it’s your first property tenants don’t need to know that - provide a brochure of business norms - when to call for non emergency issues, what is an emergency, how/when to pay, etc.After a few buy & holds and some procedure, BRRRR is a reasonable next step.Good luck!

@Tashina Taylor ensure you are cash flowing on it.... sounds like the numbers will come really close with this being your only income i would start with fix/flips to keep your capitol coming back in... wat happens if the fridge goes ouT Right after refi and u have no money to replace?

I'm looking for a simple lower cost but durable fridge, washer, and dryer specifically. 

I'm guessing you will keep the fridge roughly where it is as it seems to be nicely tucked away in that niche.Once you decide on the layout, do a mock up so you can walk around and get a feel for the space and function. 

It also has the benefit of only being one property to maintain albeit that you will have 2 of everything fridge, stove, AC But only 1 roof 1 tax bill etc.

I'm guessing a lot of the money went to knocking down the wall in the kitchen, redoing that and the bathroom and then the appliances-not sure if there is a wash dryer, or just fridge, stove and dishwasher. 

Fridge, stove and AC must be replaced.

I dropped his rent a bit and bought a mini-fridge and microwave for him.

hardwood underlayment under LVP and it has trouble floating near my fridge and stand up freezer. 

That's 40 roofs, tons of sinks, 40+ fridges, and 40x anything that can break.
