They should also get a refresh of these items in the days prior to closing the sale.  

I should have refreshed it b/4 replying.

Only drawback is after these long term tenancies turnover the units require full Kitchen/Bath remodels and refresh of walls and floors.

It is refreshing to see others similar to my age taking advantage of their time and resources.

I'm refreshing now and soaking up what I can.

Have refreshments and show upgrades and before and after pictures.Everyone is interested in what you have done to the home and it's the realtors job to promote it.

According to my mortgage broker, there are many alternate lenders which will allow 10% borrowed down payment.There are a few more stringent factors, I wasn't able to find any alternate lenders in smaller communities, and they were not willing to lend on properties which are not readily habitable (undergoing or in the midst of construction, "refreshing" the property was fine)Rates are also higher.

The cost of cycling a tenant between lost rent, time showing the property, refresh (paint, repairs, etc) can be costly and takes time to recoup.  

On the other hand, when investing in a detached home, you are responsible for refreshing and maintaining the exterior of the property.

I will refresh my memory on the rules.
