@Jonathan Greene to piggy-back on what your laying down here: I believe a core component of the "problem" is a gross over & mis use of "Cash-flow". 

I’ve remodeled multiple houses at same time and there is no way on this green earth I would go to the store each time for each room.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Just focusing on the passive income you want to achieve will leave you chasing cash flow which will have you buying properties in worse areas with harder tenancies that seem to cash flow better, but will have large cap ex.Any time someone asks a question about where to invest and it can be anywhere, they aren't ready to invest and are opening themselves up to every pitch in the world on an area.

Multifamily is incredibly complex and if you don't understand the metrics or calculations behind it, you're going to get burned. if you're just plugging numbers in until it "goes green", you are either going to miss out on deals or buy something you shouldn't. 

Luckily this apartment just needed touch up a cleaning.

By all means give them a note on how to use all of the appliances (eg clean out the lint trap on the drier after each load, do not use dish soap in a dishwasher, change the furnace filter regularly, etc).
