I am fairly confident I can raise rent by $200-300 per unit if I do some upgrades (I.e better faucets, add a dish washer).The question is, how much should I plan to repair/upgrade based on the age of the property?

Rents $1000/mo in a satellite community of Phx.

If anyone cares to post ballpark/ROM figures for basic hook up costs, here is their situation: they are leech field septic, well water, city electric, natural gas hookup and no cable/satellite tv that would help tremendously.

I mean, if you leave out a plate of tuna fish on a plate and a dish of water and leave for a week or two, you don't expect to come home to find all kinds of bugs all over it?

The only question would be how much to the tenants waste on laundry and dishes.

Also has the added benefit of working in a power outage2)  A dish washer could be a deal breaker to a tenant, but I'm not sure who your target tenant is. 

And I learned about RITA for the first time by accident, luckily in time.)It is not that I dislike Cleveland and its satellites.

I'll focus on an area and google maps satellite view going area by area looking for the tell tale sign of the smaller single wide shaped homes in a row or column.

It will need to be furnished or at least mostly furnished though because that's what guests expect (dishes, linens, etc.)
