Plus once you have one in there they are very cheap and easy to swap out.

Never too late to the party as long as the festivities are still going on. yeah I am happy to see you like my conceptsEssentially my formula is pretty simplepaints should be neutrals but tastefully unwhite.take a look at HGTV or your favorite tv drama and observe the paint on the walls.what color are theysubliminally when we watch shows about affluent people we connect their decor to successas far as fixtures are concerned endeavor to get the best put pay the least.look for flea markets  odd lot storeshome depot clearance or open box returns ebay, amazon always have deals on plumbing fixtures.lighting is another area where you can seperate yourself from the packsame idea here flea markets odd lots etc.even pawn shops and swap meetsthe idea here is to get more bang for your buck when people walk into  a rental in a B, or C neighborhoodthey do not expect much when you provide them with more you increase your amount of interested tenantstherefore giving you more people to assess and hopefully choosing the best of the bunch,flooring is another area but much harder to save moneybut my thoughts on flooring are put down wood or really good laminateso you dont have to clean carpetsand the floors  make the place look more upscale.if you can swing a stack washer dryer and stick it in a hall closetall the better,sure they lose some closet space but gaining a washer dryer is worth it and you cant miss what you never know was there. thats all I really have right now,it boils down to one rule " offer more without paying more".

. $35k/1680 hrs = $21/hour. could you do better at a day job and (more importantly) could you get round year work flipping (tought to do right now). for us "day jobbers" I love do investing on the side. extra income. nothing better than texting a renter and a contractor (swapping info) so I am OUT OF IT. :)

Very rarely do I not replace the kitchen countertops or swap out vanities and mirrors in the baths.

What are you going to do if they take the Amazon Echo, swap out your LED bulbs and otherwise strip the property of high tech items?

I know carpet is cheap, but then I replace it in between each tenant swap.

@Joe SplitrockYou understand they got rid of the personal exemption and dependent exemptions, so the child tax credit was just a swap threw a in a couple hundred dollars on top. 

For $17.95 (vs the receptacles themselves with 2usb's are about $24 plus you have to swap them) we got some with 6 plugs and 4 USBs.

Swapping a job in Old Navy in a mall for Amazon Fulfillment Centers, is really all about one demographic, college and teen kids that can drive.

I'm under the impression he swapped them out for older units from his other properties and charged me for them.
