I used some L-brackets, tightened some drawer guides,  and filled cracks/holes with stain-able wood filler, then my wife stained the cabinets and added new pulls.  

Granted that was only for a year or so.I was really drawn to the idea of building the units on a slab and having stained concrete for the floors.  

In my experience it usually means heavy smoke/mold/water/stain damage throughout.. to the point the drywall is 'discolored' to the point needs replacing, ditto for fixtures especially enamel, porcelain, laminate, wood, etc usually need to be rippd out or at least resurfaced... definitely usually more than 'needs a paint job'

There was quite some damage to the property - trash everywhere, broken appliances, a human sized hole in the wall (WTH), stains in carpet, gouged hardwood floors, they even destroyed the hot tub.

The floor still has some fairly dark spots from staining and some ligher spots from wear, but it is appropriate for the house and age of the house.

Bless all careful inspectors.Improperly installed bathroom vent leading to active, long term leak (huge black stain under the roof, small stain on bathroom ceiling)Broken (!)

.- Fixed all rotted logs, caulk and stain.- New hardwood flooring on most of bottom floor.- New carpet upstairs.- New kitchen cabinet doors.- New vanities and toilets in all bathrooms.- Stainless Steel appliances.- Smart Thermostats.- Bushhog and mulch overgrown pasture.- Paint inside and out.- New front porch and new deck/patio on top of garage.Hoping to sell it fast. 

Where as if it’s $50k custom cabinets then re stain/paint would be better.

Some detailed perimeter landscaping with accent lighting, a red front door, maybe a new color just for the front facade and different color in the foyer, new large exterior wall sconce, paint/stain the fence in the yard.  

You are negotiating by stepping on the soft spots, looking at the leaks under the sinks, stains on the ceilings, smelling the cat pee, dog poo, etc.
