.,) is replaced at acquisition so house is in great condition- no intent of ever paying off the house- appreciation being normal at 3% for this scenario- cashflow being $400 month, figuring $200 of the $400 for future repairs and vacancy- sell and pay capital gains tax rather than 1031So in my scenario I figure most everything has a 10 year life span...AC, faucets, dishwasher, water heater, will need all fresh paint inside and out, etc. 

My tenants have my and my wife's personal cell numbers even though we use a property manager...We have always told our tenants that if any issue comes up, they are welcome to call us for any reason (leaky faucet to problems with property management)...I would hope if they are having issues with the Wuhan Flu, they wouldn't hesitate to call before we have to contact them for lack of payment...

Vinyl plank or laminate is the best for a rental as tile would need backerboard-Paint the interior and exterior-Install a backsplash to spruce up the kitchen-Since it has been sitting, I would replace all the faucets-Freshen up the exterior with some landscaping-New Appliances-Save back some funds for the "unexpected"Good Luck !

Construction materials cost like redwood, paint $46/gallon, faucet, even toilet cost have really moved up in price.

The faucets also look horrible and old, just asking for repair issues later, my advice, go new.

So everything gets listed - blinds, flooring, appliances, faucets, tubs, sinks, etc etc.   

You have new cabinets, new tile (kitchen, bathroom, living room), new flooring (kitchen, bathroom, living room), new trim & millwork (kitchen & living room), new solid surface counter tops, new sinks & faucets (kitchen & bathroom), gas fireplace, new doors, new hardware, new paint in all rooms, new light fixtures, etc, etc.

The work on the kitchen includes new tiles on floor, cabinets, countertops, new sinks, faucets, and new appliances.Are we correct to assume that no permit is needed?

We use the same paint colors, faucets, light fixtures, door knobs, etc. in all of our houses.One glaring difference, or perhaps it's two - we do our own property management, and we don't usually have to market our properties.

Same for plumbing, how is a leaking faucet repaired?
