You have a lot of colors going on in the kitchen which makes it difficult to offer a suggestion  You could possibly get a way with a glass tile that blends your colors to mute the other colors. 

Depending on one's goals, investing should be a blend of the two factors.

Hi @Marty Gold,How are you.You question is broad but will define a little bit.Do you want regular rents blended with summer rental?

You have a blended interest rate of about 6.6%, so if investing the additional money into more real estate will provide you a greater return than 6.6% you should do that. 

Redfin has their special blend and that is good for maybe the first one or 2.

People are paying ultra low cap rates in hopes the rent growth train keeps on chugging along at a feverish pace to blend their cap rates up to acceptable levels over time.

For a $15k website, blended rate of $150/hour, you're looking at 100 hours of work.

I'd expect an attached to be much more since you'll have to blend it into the existing home.

The chips on the cabinet door edges are wear and tear.I would say hard use of the unit, but wear and tear.The paint chips on painted cabinets sometimes, and the plastic film peels back on the coated type sometimes.If you have trouble making them look nice, perhaps you can get replacement doors.For apartment use I think the easiest to blend in repairs is the old oak type.To many this look is dated, but in some neighborhoods this would be an acceptable (clean roomy) rental.
