Nice job @Jennifer Stillman love the original artwork tied into the draperies and the timeless bathroom choices-you maintained the character 

My new tenants ( younger ) were happy with clean carpet / curtains and drapery rods ( instead of verticals/mini blinds ) and decent paint.I still need to put a new wall heater in a few months ( another post talking about this ).So, I was able to avoid some remodeling costs this time around.I think is is partially due to providing a "reasonable" rent for the area and the lack of 3br 1bath small houses (so there was less competition) as opposed to apartment living.Thanks to all,, Rich C :)

A basic cleanup can start at a few hundred dollars where as a suicide by shotgun can take more than a day to clean and can run into a couple thousand, not including the replacement of carpet, paint, draperies, etc.

When I build houses, I try to pay close attention to the sight lines out the windows... show what is pretty and if there's nothing to look at, try not to put a window there if I can help it.If I can't help it, the window with no good view will get miniblinds that will stay with the house after the sale (For $4 per window, they aren't worth the hassle of moving in and out.)For windows in main areas, we'll use curtains or some kind of nice looking drapery.

If Tenant(s) does not clean adequately and regularly, Tenant(s) will be liable for reasonable cleaning charges – including charges for cleaning carpets, draperies, blinds, furniture, walls, etc. that are soiled beyond normal wear (that is, wear or soiling that occurs without negligence, carelessness, accident, or abuse).

Likely though you will need to professionally clean any soft surfaces such as carpet, draperies, or furniture.

@Allan Draper I started with realtor who had a private lender contact.

@Russ DraperI will talk with him later, but i'm assuming the lease will start on the 15th, because I really cant hold it much longer.  

Quote from @Kirstyn Draper: I don’t know what you would consider “significantly” more, but it’s a few thousand over 10k.
