As for other amenities, some crowd-pleasers that won't break the bank are coffee maker + starter pack of pods, basic workout equipment (yoga mat, resistance bands), phone charging stations by the beds, and basic kitchen essentials like olive oil, salt/pepper, coffee filters, etc.

I currently live in Southern Maine and am looking to construct some kind of new project rather getting into rehabbing existing residentialProposed Land Budget 100-200kConstruction Budget: 400kAll in 500-600k.I have found that if I do the site work myself including clearing, septic and digging the foundation is that i can sub contract out either steel or a Lester style building (50x150) for around 300k installed with insulation and power , divided into three 2500 square foot units. 

I get tired of people saying, but you have A, B and C.

This is largely because I can typically get higher rents in B and A-class neighborhoods without relying on Section 8.I’d recommend focusing your search on C and C+ neighborhoods, for both multi-family and single-family homes with more than three bedrooms.

We have pulled permit for one STR, like air B n B and have furnished one of the units.

I now live in Las Vegas but still have a B&B and real estate company down there and go back 5x per year.

Quote from @Lauren Cutchen: Is there anything you can do about the scratch marks made all over a stainless steel stove? 

You can get away with using 5% for Class A tenants, but we use 10% for Class B and lower. 3) Tenant Payment Performance: you didn't mention this, but it is important!
