New light switches, outlets, fixtures, etc to get rid of the dated feel. 

Fridge, range, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer all for about $2100.We use lower-end brushed nickel fixtures (lighting and plumbing), all new registers/switches/outlets/plates, and standard 6-panel MDF doors.As for recessed lighting, the cost comes from the materials and the electrician's labor, so whether you're tearing out the ceiling or not probably won't impact the cost too much, unless you're tearing out enough sheetrock to make the wiring a lot easier.

You can sell the old one on through the same outlets.  

Especially since we're adding two zone CAC/Heat, adding more outlets to bring it up to code, and adding light fixtures in a few rooms that didn't have them in the past.

I managed a building where the electric was constantly being shut off for tenants that couldn't pay,, we'd either find out when the service tech came to block the meter or when we saw a extension cord running under the door to a hallway outlet,, which if we found the maintenance tech was told to unplug and disable the plug by cutting the cord..

You'll need working smoke alarms, appliances, heat and hot water, and electric outlets up to code.

They installed a ceiling fan with the wiring running from an outlet up the wall across the ceiling.

Hello all again,Thank you for the tips on how to address / depreciate the water heater issue.My next question is whether I can deduct installation of GFCI outlets in my kitchen (previous owner prior to my moving in / renting out rooms) had installed grounded outlets that weren't GFCI-protected).

The outlet mall had a decent amount of people considering it was 39 degrees at the tome.

Roofing replacement will run about $300/square though that doesn't include an allowance for decking replacement.On the electrical you'll probably need to either replace the panel or upgrade the breakers to arc-fault and then ground out the outlets.
