A lot of new drywall, plumbing, electrical, sub floors were added/replaced to kitchen, new windows, siding/gutters/fascia/soffits, flooring (much of home had original hardwood), plus all the visuals you see on photos (cabinets, granite, trim, etc).

On the other side the "devils" are section 8 tenants who don't keep their property clean or in good repair (holes in the wall / broken doors / damaged cabinets / etc.) and seem to be the black sheep of the neighborhood.  

I'm assuming "a couple hundred per month" in expenses for NNN, but I'm just at the start of really doing any DD and this is the first commercial property I'm digging into.

Although I do plan to sell within the next 3 years (military orders) I want to make sure I didn't make a terrible mistake by lowering my payments now just to save a few hundred dollars but increasing my total loan.

I also funded deals in Marion IN,  Hammond IN, and of course hundreds in Indy.  

The previous owner had improvised handgun stash boxes in most rooms, a void in a kitchen cabinet and over the doorway in the shed. 

Need a supplier of  budget priced kitchen cabinets and marble countertops.

Not only that, there are custom cabinetry in the kitchen that is very close to the ceiling, that would make the removal of the trims and mirrors very difficult, unless I remove those cabinets too.I am leaning towards keeping the walls and floors but change the ceiling.Any thoughts as to what I can do to the ceiling that would make it appealing to most renters?

I am looking for any advice, referrals, and info on how to get started in buying out of state/building a team as I feel that it might be difficult to trust many people as well as secure rental payments from hundreds of miles away (even with a property management company).Also, if I buy an investment property, would I still be able to qualify for an FHA loan for me and my girlfriend for our future house hack?

It always kills me to see investors complain about spend an extra few hundred dollars each year to maintain a property and keep a good tenant happy, then watch them leave, lose a good tenant, and then their home starts killing them with problems because they didn't want to clean the gutters or inspect the home periodically.GC's are a different story.
