I agree with Betty that the Refrigerator and the Range are the most noticeable...I think the french door fridges are more "in" right now, and the 'slide-in ranges' seem more luxurious especially if you have a nice backsplash behind it...It looks like you are looking at some pretty high end appliance packages here either way...I would checkout what some of your competitors are doing in the market to see if they are splurging for the higher end appliances or if you can get by with a lower end package...I don't think I've ever spent over $3,000 total for an appliance package so these both seem pretty high end to me :)...

(for my mother)Add master bathroom on second floor (would be placed directly above the kitchen and across the hall from another bathroom)All new systems (2 Zone HVAC, Plumbing (copper pipes), and electrical)I intend to use Spray foam insulationThe entire house would use low-mid tier materials with certain splurges(hardwood, kitchen cabinets)This will not be a rental, I'd live here.

A pretty backsplash can also add a lot to a kitchen, and if bathrooms are small you can splurge on some nice tile as it goes a long way. 

So much of my budget has gone to expensive repairs by negligent tenants that just didn't care to report the issue in a timely fashion, the cash to splurge just isn't there. 

After splurging on podcasts, webinars, youtube videos, and across the forums I'm looking forward to putting the pedal to the metal on my investing career. 

They get a few hundred or a few thousand extra dollars coming in every month, and they start to expand their lifestyle or splurge a little too often.

Would you splurge a little bit on the cabinets or stick with mid-grade and keep costs?

Will a simple dust mask combat this or do I need to splurge for a more heavy duty mask?

Make sure to splurge on at least two quality pillows per bed (see if you have a friend or family member or acquaintance who works at a place like mattress firm as they can hook you up with some serious discounts).

I might splurge for higher end next time to spend less time painting.
