See I don't feel one should be so scared of tenants vacating when trying to move rents to market.

When dealing with prospective buyers, it's best to work with those who already have a mover in place and know exactly what they want to do.

It will need new kitchen flooring, new kitchen countertops/sink, possibly new kitchen appliances although I can probably make by with what is there, new vanity and bathroom sink, new bathroom floor, paint, new carpet, new doors, new vents and outlets, and thorough cleaning.Should I try to get a clean up crew in there to get rid of the junk (left behind by the movers).

Keep an eye on the property.On lock-out day have movers ready and be prepared to immediately change the locks. 

Talk to the tenants and tell them you would get them a u- haul or higher movers to help them get out This week. it will be less expensive than the eviction process. hopefully they will accept and get out and leave it decent condition

I have paid for movers to help elderly sellers get moved because they were not able to do it themselves.

have two small apartment complexes in Aberdeen & Hoquiam that I am analyzing.

this is what keeps me going keeping up with all my 20 to 45 year old movers and shakers..  

This is the link. https://www.redfin.com/IL/Chicago/7926-S-Aberdeen-...I'm wondering if it's a good idea to do some repairs and rent it out or if we should just sell it.

There was a certain way the mover advised us to pour the footers for the foundation in order to please a bank in the future if someone wants to buy it with an FHA loan - something to look into if you do this in the future.
