If this is a sub $150K property I might just put a new coat of paint on the cabinets, change the counter top and add a back splash to bring it all together.

Replace back-splash (or add)5.

.✅ Replaced cast iron plumbing to PEX ✅ Paint & LVP flooring✅ Brand new kitchen with granite countertops, shaker cabinets, backsplash, and stainless appliances✅ Brought the laundry from an exterior mechanical closet to inside the home✅ Full exterior refresh for curb appeal✅ Added a Tesla Wall Connector in the carport for at-home charging ⚡️ (ok, this one is just for me but is pretty cool) What was the outcome?

Backsplash you can do yourself (just make sure it is strait), freshen the wall paint, white ceilings, and install new towel holders, toilet roll holders. 

Decorative wall tile like a backsplash is less of a concern.

Most small towns i have rentals in, I am viewed as the landlord that has the "nicest" properties in town(No granite here as they love the tile counters and the $3 backsplash)  However, in upscale areas I would consider having the worst properties at the bottom dollar price

If you really want to wow people, put a pretty back splash in! 

Samsung appliances, tile backsplash, granite, and a gorgeous island.

Partial contractor, partial DIY kitchen remodel to add cabinets, shelves, backsplash, and paint, and then DIY shed replacement and house paint.
