So she we reluctantly allowed her in.She mistook laminate flooring for hardwood, assumed the counter tops were granite & the assessment was $90k higher than our actual build cost.

The kitchen cost $1400 including all cabinets, stainless steal appliances (microwave, fridge, range, dishwasher) and granite bench-tops.

Each unit is 1800 sq ft with high end features, such as: Granite counter tops, top of the line cabinets and vanities, 10 ft ceilings with crown molding, top of the line appliances, wide open floor plans with travertine floors, 3 beds 2.5 baths with a garage and an upstairs balcony.

That said, I have put in lot of upgrades including new roof, granite in kitchen, bathrooms, double pane windows, New HVAC and such, at least 30K into the property.

Also, add to that brown, spackled granite countertops.

The rents in this area for a high end unit can be $1350-1500; most comparables have granite and stainless appliances.

I'm considering taking a job as a home inspector and transitioning out of the granite fabrication/installation , kitchen and bath remodel field that I've been in for 18 years.  

Also, since it is an "A" class deal with higher rent, we are putting in granite counter tops and new appliances.  

This one is coming with 20% instant equity and needs "nothing" to rent out in the heart of grandview it's already a bit overdone for the area - granite, stainless, hardwoods, outbuilding) - I think this one will rent as soon as I take possession and market it.On the financing side, I took my relationship with portfolio lender a step further and moved some security assets I've been holding a long time (income oriented things like bond ETFs) for free to their asset management division, which allowed them to give me a line of credit with those as collateral at 3.5% "interest only".  

Kitchen remodel: New cabinets, granite counter tops, flooring, electrical upgrade, tile work, hired out, $3,000 to $15,000.New appliances: I purchase scratch and dent from major retailers, $1,200 to $3,000.Carpeting: I purchase from a wholesaler and have a independent installer.
