I'm looking at counter top options and am liking the Butcher block look. 

The inspector said the gas line was for a kitchen however the room did not represent a kitchen since there was no overhead exhaust and no counter tops to represent a kitchen, just a stove and a sink. 

I paid 6k for white shaker style custom cabinets, 2500k for granite countertops, 3k for stainless steel appliances. 300$ for backsplash, 300$ for farmhouse sink and faucet.

Fix that place up a bit; floors, countertops, just cosmetics.

Swapping single pane windows with dual pane, exterior painting and other minor cosmetic repairs inside a few units - flooring, countertop etc.

Excessive wear to painted surfaces outside of what would typically be expected.Faded/mildewed caulking, silicone or other sealants around the bathtub, tiles, sinks, countertops, vanities, etc.Missing caulking around the bathtub and tiles, excessive mildew or water damage, unreported issues potentially.Hard water deposits or stains in sinks, tubs, showers, etc.Buildup of dirt, mold, mildew, or water stains from a preventable or unreported water leak or drip at a fixture or in wet areas or water damage to hard surface flooring resulting from unreported leak or issue.Worn out or deteriorated finishes on deadbolts, locksets, handle sets, loose or stubborn door locks, loose hinges, handles, cabinet pulls, knobs, etc.Broken, lost or unreturned keys, broken door locks, hinges, handles, cabinet pulls, knobs not resulting from normal wear and tear.

Of course nice is a relative term as there they love the tile counter tops, cheap backsplash and the most inexpensive laminate or tile

These days, prices are high enough where even that will destroy your margins (versus doing a lot of the work yourself).If you want recommendations for subs (plumbers, electricians, drywallers, carpenters, countertops) I have a bunch.

The property is consistently fully leased, the market and in-place rents are $1,295 per door and all the units have new counter tops, blinds, flooring and are well maintained by the 3rd party property manager.

Are they changing counter tops at 3 or 4 units every month?
