I usually estimate based on the cost of materials and do the work myself, for example:used or new toilet: $20-$90plain white sink at lowes (order online): $40used or new window: $20-150used or new door: $20-150bathroom mirror: $10-20sheet of drywall: $10bucket of mud: $12sheet of 1/2" plywood: $20laminate or tile flooring: 1-2/sq.ft.5 gal of paint, primer or polyurethane: $50-100used or new cabinets: $0-600laminate countertop: $50-200used fridge and stove: $100-260new water heater: $220If you don't know how to make certain repairs there are lots of youtube videos that you can learn from.

So if a roof lasts 300 months, then I guess that's about $50/mo just for the roof.I've already replaced two fridges and a stove @ $300 each, but I'm guessing I won't have too many more this year.

You're much better off though considering an apartment or house as a collection of assets with varying life spans.A 30 unit apartment will have a stove, refrigerator, and other appliances in each apartment and perhaps a couple of spares for replacements.

Turns out there was tupperware or something of that sort in the broiler of the stove (gas stove).

If you are considering granite (which from the looks of it, you should not) then I'd say you're much better off painting the countertops and replacing the stove and putting in a microwave above it instead of the vent hood.

This was the first time in 24 years that I didn't have to clean a blessed thing, I nearly cried when they told me they needed to leave :( When they finally did leave, one of my Sons went with me to check out the empty house, I opened up the stove & it sparkled!

That built in stove is functional, but very out-dated.

Each unit does have a stove and refrigerator.

The tenant isn't going to pay you $10k if they have a stove fire and set the place ablaze destroying the kitchen.

There was only an electric outlet for stove, but the gas line was in the basement.
