You need all of your business obligations from local vendors, contractors, and certain Team members.With regards to a location be is the southern United States around fairly large cities that are devirsably economically, has growing population, job growth, and to invest in a growing area. 

Market seems to be saying your units are economically productive and on par with comparable units as is (based on tenants grabbing them).And, as you know now, that new smell and model home appearance of the totally remodeled and rehabbed unit will fade fast when the tenants treat it like, well, a rental...So you may just end up remodeling again if you sell or get a rough tenant..I tend to do more work on units prior to a sell and let the horses run with a rental with tenants in place that are relatively happy.
