Mainly, how do I find good tenant prospects that are genuinely on the mends from their financial situation versus someone that will continue making poor financial decisions down the road. 

As those who have read some of my post know above that i have 3 goals right now on the stove.#1 the wild plant food business (which shall be established by new year) and then to buy that partial land that has a crop.

Put a tile backsplash behind the stove, for $20 in tile you make a great impression.

If you paid for new carpet or a stove or paid to remodel the bathroom those are improvements.

In its current form, the back of the house is rented and the front unoccupied.This presents an interesting opportunity, but also several challenges: Front units need updating, and front of building is over 100 years oldFront units have no stoves/ovens (they once did and were pulled, no visible gas hookups)Front units heated by gas, rear by electricSome units share utilities, not yet clear which units or utilitiesZoned as a two-family, like most on the block, though there is a 4 or 6-unit building across the street on a larger lotThis is an ambitious project for someone with my lack of experience, but I would like to explore it further before ruling it out, as I see the potential for considerable forced appreciation and solid cash flow.  

And of course they couldn't drill the hole under the fridge or stove, because there was a support beam going through.

I also don't see any money set aside for CapEx (if a fridge, stove, window needs replaced, etc.)

If the panel is 100amp service, but the wiring has been derated to 80amp, then it won't be able to handle the AC, fridge, stove, water heater, etc all running at the same time.

The tile is in the front entrance of the home and acts not only as a nice entrance way to the house but also is there because of a wood burning stove that is there really just to serve as a added comfort (Ski Town).

Paid $1300 for new stainless, microwave, stove and dishwasher electric.
