In our first home I was able to redo our kitchen cabinets by painting them and adding hardware.

On day 24 I called him because a spice rack was not installed on the inside of a cabinet door yet.

They were without the kitchen for 10-12 hours (well just the main bank of cabinets, sink and added a dishwasher).

He's getting these at a small discount, then taking out all of the old stained-wood doors and trim, the paneling, the old ugly cabinet, and the baths.

I haven't set up a solo-401k yet but will be in the near future so now I am learning as much as I can to make sure I don't step into mud without knowing it.I believe based on your post, I really do need to hire a property manager to handle everything from assessment to executing a solution to whatever problem might creep up.My original thinking was as the 401k fund custodian I can't do any physical work but I would be able to take calls from tenants, as well as going there to assess the issue, for the purpose of determining which pro to call in to resolve the issue.However I also know while assessing the issue often time I might end up having to do physical work - such as reaching inside the cabinet to turn off the water valve, or flush the toilet to see what's happening, or opening and closing a window, or even turning on or turning off a light, those are technically all physical work right?

A dishwasher will cost about the same as a cabinet that would be in its place.

Worst part was that he had gotten himself a roommate (without my permission) whose employment (as he described it; I'm not kidding) was "marketing".As my son and I were clearing out the house after the eviction, four of his "customers" stopped by to pick up their supplies which involved little packets of white powder (we found some in the kitchen cabinet that "TJ" over looked).

The appraiser noted missing storm windows, missing kitchen cabinets, missing ceiling tiles, no appliances, some tile and carpet missing, holes in the drywall, some missing siding, and some garage items- door, siding and a hole in the wall.

@Matt LairdReally impossible to say without seeing it and knowing the level of finishes required, but I'd ballpark it at $30k+ based on what you've said here, maybe less if you're doing a bunch of the work yourself (we're in the DIY forum).That kitchen will be expensive, as you need cabinets, countertops, backsplash, appliances, fixtures and flooring.

Home Depot has everything you need; Investor tan paint, kitchen cabinets, light fixtures, Decora outlets and switches, Pergo laminate flooring, Berber carpet, 6 panel doors, light fixtures and ceiling fans, etc.
