the place came w/ a fully liveable basement, including kitchen, shower bathroom the rooms have windows.  

I had a good-paying job at a Silicon Valley equipment manufacturer. 

After the tenant moved in the repair calls starting coming in 9 times in 12 months - backdoor was stuck again (that was part of minor repairs), heat went out, AC not cooling, kitchen sink leaking,  etc.

My order goes like this.1: Front of House (unless there is an extra special feature. think a Plane Jane house with a chef kitchen or over-the-top pool and patio area)2-5: Highlights of the best features of the house.

Could be a new roof, HVAC system, or new kitchen along the way (all of which could certainly add equity to the home irrespective of the year it was built).  

You will be lucky to get 20 years out of kitchen at STR quality and should maybe plan for 15 years.  

We even made little signs to go up on the. door and on the kitchen to warn about fraud since it is more likely with self-guided showings.

I ask because if you redid ele and plumbing for kitchen and bath, plus added new panel and did rewiring, than those costs are quite low.

Upgraded kitchens, bathrooms, and other items that hadn't been touched for years What was the outcome?

the kitchen,fridge and bathrooms are disgusting and it is damaging the properties.
