A roof/fridge/foundation on a 2000 sqft house costs approximately the same anywhere in the country, and the work involved with poorer renters tends to be more involved, so if you're not getting MUCH higher margins than you would in other parts of your city, don't bother.

Thanks in advance for your input: Fridge: GE Café vs. 

Depending on price, there will be two plans to consider:Plan 1: Convert dividing wall (between living area and kitchen) to pass-through window, reface kitchen cabinets, remove/replace granite, remodel two bathrooms with tile on both walls and floor, relocate crawl space about 15 ft, some electrical work (may need to run new ground lines), and general deferred maintenance.Plan 2: Tear down dividing wall, add/install large island in center of kitchen, raise window height on back kitchen wall (raise about 6-10 inches, about 11.5 ft of windows), relocate water lines (moving sink and fridge), add cabinets, pantry, new flooring throughout home, and the rest of items in Plan 1 apply.

$8500 sounds like a lot to pay for a fridge and a freezer.

The purchase price was $185k and we put just under $5k into the home for closing costs and light renovations (paint, cleaning, gutters, fridge).  

Ultimately I didn't close as they would not cure a title defect, but other than needing a fridge and a doorbell repair, the unit was move-in ready.

If she doesn't accept then I will say since there is a new fridge and dining room set that we can do 127.

I had my bank account autopay him rent every month.The fridge broke, he said just go buy a new one, send receipt,  deduct it from your next months rent.  

I spent a lot more on Maintenace in the duplex. 2 furnaces, 2 fridges, etc.

It's a C type SFRHere is why: For a full set of stainless at lowes, on discount I found a set for like ~$1500. they had a scratch and dent fridge that saved another ~$200.
