They will still have some cash flow, but my goal is to have properties in B class areas that will attract a tenant for three or more years.So what can you do?

Haven't "had" to do it, but it anything that attracts a renter is a good thing.Installing the blinds helps to prevent the tenant from having to hammer in little nails and hanging sheets over the windows, which I guess is okay but looks totally ghetto.

I'm a believer in clean and updated kitchens attracting better tenants and buyers, so I find good appliances to be worth it. 

They seem attractive in the sense that they are self sustained, required to be cleaned by guests, and very minimal/no utilities (depending on how fancy you go)Examples:http://www.huts.org/index.php  http://www.huts.org/Reservations/Dates_Rates_Capac...  

@Eric MatsudaI define the term value as buying low in relation to sales price, and the ability to rehab and increase rents , which cash flows to attract future investor at higher sales price.I don't see value in downtown due to the neighborhood being more run down and less like that an investor will fix up and flip.

This would probably require a significant hair cut to make it attractive but would end up with the same scenario as #2 - the ability to complete a full exchange.

I'm looking into rebuilding communities especially those on main roads and close to attractions.

Also, we are big on investing in better areas where we can possibly attract owner occupants and/or investors when we go to sell.

Even going east (Bastrop) or west (marble Falls) is attractive to alot of investors right now due to price point and statistically equal cash flow. 

Likewise with the washer/dryer, they will wash two socks and/or allow their friends to come over and wash.Bottom line, if you are attracting good tenants, and they are staying, don't change a thing.
