A really filthy appliance or bathroom can extend the time it takes to clean considerably.

Let's just look at the hard numbers:Unemployment: Was 6.3% when Trump left office and is now 4.2% Consumer Price Index: Was up 1.4% in 2020 and is now up 2.5%  Median Household Income: Rose 4% during Biden and FELL 2.9% during Trump.

The kitchen has upgraded quartz counters, SS appliances, and they updated the bathroom as well.

You can also consider increasing your deductible to lower the premium, assuming you have enough reserves for emergencies.Energy Efficiency Improvements→ If you cover utilities for your rental properties, look into energy-efficient upgrades (such as LED lighting, better insulation, or energy-efficient appliances).

So I sent an offer in a condo that was priced for a great price great location all the appliance and bathrooms are brand new..

You do not state what is actually "breaking" with your systems, but AC's generally last longer than many other appliances when they are properly and regularly serviced.

I got rid of about $2,500 worth of trash out cost but then some one can in that night and took all the appliances ...lol Wont do that again or get an alarm.

Here’s the situation:Key Project Details:•Property Size (pre-renovation): 250 sq. meters (2500 sq. feet)•Purchase Price: 250,000 EUR (1,000 EUR/sq. meter)•Renovation Costs: 750 EUR/sq. meter (includes kitchen, appliances, quality furnishings)• Loan costs (during renovation and renting): 350 sq. meters (due to attic expansion)•Property Size (post-renovation): 350 sq. meters (due to attic expansion)•Post-Renovation Layout: 2 separate apartments•Airbnb Income (24 months): 2,500 EUR/month/apartment (= 5,000 EUR/month)• Other running costs: 600 EUR/month•Projected Sale Price (after 2-3 years): 850,000 EUR (approx. 2,500 EUR/sq. meter)•Closing Costs: Negligible in Tbilisi•Real Estate Agent’s Fee: Typically 3%, but negotiable based on who hires themFinancing Setup:•Property Purchase Financing: 100% bank financing at 5.9% interest (bank has even financed 150% to cover some renovation costs in the past)•Renovation Financing: Our friend is offering to finance 250,000 EUR in cash for the renovationsProposed Partnership Structure:•Work Involved (on our side): Full renovation (10-12 months to complete), furnishing, and property management through Airbnb until the sale (2-3 years)•Profit Split Proposal: 60% (us) / 40% (friend providing renovation financing)Questions for the Community:1.Does the proposed profit split (60/40) seem fair, given the work we would handle (renovation, furnishing, property management)?

@Natalie Johnstone There's no perfect answer, but the general indicators are the simple ones - population growth, median household income growth, businesses moving to the area. 

I've not done that remotely, but it could be done.I have a handyman that gets used appliances all the time and installs them in my rental houses when needed.It would take some trust or coordination on your part but could save you some substantial money.I'm sure you could find someone on the next door app that was handy and had a truck to go pickup stuff.
