The necessities are floors (LVP), windows and paint for the interior.

@Ben ClingerHi Ben, I just noticed your post.Toledo just clarified their inspection criteria for section 8 houses and decided they wanted their cake and to eat it too...we don't have to have an interior inspection (since LMHA inspects that during their inspection), but we DO have to pay for a Lead Inspector contractor to visually inspect the exterior of the house and of course we DO have to pay the $45 fee (which is of course what this is all about).LMHA of course inspects the outside of houses along with the inside so the whole lead inspection is redundant.

Especially in a region where homes often have great bones but need interior TLC. 

Foreclosure auctions are on the table, although least preferred due to the lack of interior access (maybe with more experience).

We gutted the interior down to the cinder blocks, re-designed the unit layout to fit a more modern lifestyle.

Quote from @Jamie Bateman: @Chris Seveney well, I don't want to increase the demand for the next trade, but with the HECM NPLs you get interior photos prior to bidding.

Painting and Interior Maintenance: Every 3-5 years or between tenants, paid by the owner.12.

Unfortunately, we live in California so we would have to pay significant capital gains if we sell.Hi Scott, depending on the property and if you’re willing to invest in quality interior design, you could make more money as an STR.

Basically a turnkey investment with all new interior upgrades that is poised to bring in solid rental income.

Assuming adding a vent isn't unduly difficult, i.e. the dryer being in an interior room far from an exterior wall and/or no good access to run dryer pipe, I would put it in on my own.
