I do almost all of my maintenance and what I don't do I have long-term business partners handle according to my specifications -- lasting fixes when necessary, high-quality paint that can be touched up repeatedly, Whirlpool appliances, hardwood and tile I do myself.I am on the electrical board and the outlets, I am on the roof, I am inspecting the windows, I am on the gutters all the time, I am liberal with the weedkiller concentrate, saving myself money in the long run wherever I can.What happens when you're extended from here to eternity with 75 SFR and three furnaces die in the first heavy cold snap?

I typically do only minor updates (fresh paint, new fixtures/carpet if needed, & outlets (to freshen the place up)) however on my last one I did a much more extensive update (flooring, doors, bathroom & kitchen) while expensive, I think I’ll make it back over the next 5 years because I was able to increase rent on the unit by over 50%....I’m sure there are folks with more experience than me, but just wanted to share how I approached the decision.

Smoke detectors , working toilet working sink , good working outlets , functional doorknobs no trip hazards .. simple stuff !

I talked to a guy who has property zoned for commercial. the surrounding buildings sold for average $135,000+ and he is asking $60,000. it has new wood floors, a/c, new electrical outlets, new ductwork, etc!!!

Kitchen sink leaked when tested, but it's all in the pipes and just needs put together correctly.The electrical isn't great: some ungrounded outlets and a double tap in the box. 

When you have something that pencils out let me know and I'll run over everything with you and help you figure out the best option for you.

So the current stove has an electrical outlet behind, so does that mean he would need a professional to install a gas line by the stove?

Will definitely check it out, let me know if you want to get together sometime to talk shop. 

If not, I know an excellent agent down there that can help you out. Lets

There's one outlet in the kitchen.
