@Jim K.Dont change the fixture.

We’ve decided in order to keep it 50/50 we want to open a credit card to purchase the supplies: flooring, vanities, light fixtures, etc.

We also painted, swapped out hardware and fixtures throughout.

The pacification was heavily applied (and advertised) from 2013 on because of World Cup (2014) and the Olympic Games (2016).

new deck, front entry stairs, new landscaping, removed weed overgrowth, exterminated pests, fixed some siding and roof damage, fixed clogged plumbing, replaced fixtures, improved drainage, added structural posts and reinforced basement joists.What was the outcome?

Not my cup of tea but each to his own.

I put 15k into by installing new HVAC, new flooring, paint, fixtures, fans, etc.

Full gut is demo down to the studs and starting from scratch.Moderate mostly is cosmetic and can be all or any combination of fixtures, cabinets, paint, removing a wall, floors, roofing, windows, doors etc. 

@Michael GreenbergWell, if managing STRs isn't your cup of tea, you probably aren't going to want to manage other types of property either.Although, it's much easier to find a property manager for SFR LTRs (but you don't like the returns), and perhaps Multifamily may offer you something more appealing in the way of returns and ability to let someone else do the managing.
