Would any of those problems go away if, instead of a full kitchen, for example, I just put in a mini-fridge and a microwave?

. * $2.8/sqft(material/labor) = $1831.20 I rounded to $1850 just cause it's a nice number.Okay, now here is my numbers that I was happy with when I finished:Total Flooring: $3,650Appliances (Fridge, Stove, Dishwasher) = $2,200Paint interior/exterior= $6,000Kitchen Cabinets/Granite Tops = $4,500Fixtures = $1,500Doors w/hardware 9 = $7653 toilets = $300Bath 1 Vanity = $200Bath 2 Vanity = $650MST Bath Vanity = $950Cabinet Hardware, Electrical Covers, Vent Screens, etc = $750Heat Furnace = $1,400Water Heater = $400Refridge A/C = $5,000Slider Closet Doors (3) = $285Misc. $1,000TOTAL = $29,550After I get this number, I add 10-12% to it.

Even if I keep full, when someone moves out I have to go in and do something, touch up paint, clean the fridge, paint a window sill etc.

Fridge is usually considered personal property here.Kitchen counters - I priced a pre-fab faux granite formica counter with end caps for under $150 at HD.

Our latest trick is to also do refrigerator magnets with property management information - they always end up on the fridge and then the tenants don't lose the number.

And yes amenities are considered as well, not pools or spas or weight rooms, LOL, fridge, stove, A/C and type of heat....And your qualification % are HUD guidleines @ 30% and 10@ with usual circumstances, like additional handicap accessible amenities required.

Nobody needs stainless steel fridges or granite counter tops or 1000 sq.ft. per person (or more).

This provides a great shaded covered pation are below.You might consider a small kitchen area, 6' of cabinets, a fridge hook up and a small sink bar, it can be a wet bar or with a bedroom down there a mother-in-law quarters, especially near a hospital where someone is caring for a parent.

Shared fridge.

I always provide the stove and fridge and, sometimes a dishwasher.
