I chose electrical engineering, but there are subfields in this space (hardware-related careers, software-related careers, and power-related careers).

ie; cabinets, counter tops, hardware, flooring?

Items like a stainless fridge with ice/water maker, brushed nickel hardware, always a washer dryer (I can't believe any landlords don't provide this automatically), etc. 

But keep your wallet in your pocket. 

I would stop in to the local hardware store and ask them for the recommendation of a handyman or two.

I went to Lowes and got some matching bathroom/bedroom locking hardware and replaced on every door.

Purchase price: $260,000 Cash invested: $58,000 3/1 that we did a light remodel on: painted entire interior, put down laminate floors throughout, changed bathroom vanity, upgraded refrigerator, added hardware in kitchen and and on all interior doors, light yardwork.

I bought three inexpensive ones at the hardware store and put them outside, at the front door, garage walk door, and basement door.Most of the upstairs has hardwood floors, so I provided a microfiber mop, a gallon of Zep hardwood floor cleaner, a quart spray bottle, and even a funnel to get the cleaner into the spray bottle.
