No carpet, disposals, only put up curtain rods, hard flooring only, use durable materials, always have cabinet pulls

A big trick is to do cosmetic updates to max out the rents, for example most deals I sell we raise rents a good 30-100% after paint, new counters, new flooring, paint/replace cabinets.

It's a real problem and can only imagine the number of investors out there who are operating their businesses recklessly under the false beliefs of protections of an LLC created and stored away in file cabinet. 

Additionally, I have access to cabinets, doors, and other materials through trades with a friend and uncle who own 100+ doors between them, but still budgeted funds for replacements if they can't offer some. 

Really nice backsplash, nice cabinets nice handle bars, but you didn't at least match the dishwasher with the other appliances (black versus stainless steel) and you use granite countertops?

Dimensions and layouts on these are mostly standardized so you shouldnt have any problem unless the existing cabinets are custom built for the space.

Reface cabinets, new countertops, glue down flooring and fresh paint.

Look for something that needs cosmetics work, such as new flooring, paint, cabinets, etc, as this will help build value and get the most rent.   

Like when I didn't pull permits, I had to rip on the cabinets and tile and then abate asbestos that was under the kitchen floor tile. 

You don't need to provide grab bars, interior or exterior ramps, wheelchair access in lower kitchen cabinets etc.
