Talk to as many other local landlords as you can find, look for patterns in what they say about their properties and their tenants.

Assume I add stainless appliances and a granite or marble looking laminate countertop if I do go this route. 

PLUS, All new gray wood laminate flooring, bathrooms with Italian carrera-like tile, real wood double-sink vanities with marble and granite tops, White-Quartz counter tops & 6" back-splash in kitchen with White shaker self-closing cabinets, nickel brushed hardware and stainless steel appliances.

Each has pros and cons:Tile:The tile in my living/dining area has 18"x18" and 12"x12" tiles in a windmill pattern, but Lowe's no longer carries the 18"x18"...So if we transitioned, it would just be 12"x12"...

Marble countertops, vaulted ceiling, spray foam high efficiency, full body shower, touch screen bathroom mirror,    $60,000.Multiple house lots

Fueled by caffeine and ambition, I start to look for any patterns and start to run statistical tests to find any outlying data.

I'm in a no flood zone, no earthquake, and materials are usual construction type, not gold leaf and marble et cetera.So yes, it depends. 

Proving the intent, what was in someone's mind at the time gets alot easier with a jury when there is a pattern of activity.

I'd be curious to see how the traffic patterns here change in the coming days/weeks!
