I would provide the vanity, bathroom tub and shower, kitchen cabinet, flooring, and all the hard wares.

I just shopped Amazon Prime today and saved $100 on my door hardware. 

Cold storage is one option but you can also look to use a hardware wallet such as the Ledger Nano S or X or even a trust service such as Gemini or Coinbase, which offer insurance on the funds held.

Taxes, utilities, maintenance, cleaning, marketing...Gross income doesn't mean squat to your wallet.

Either way far more cost effective than hiring a VA to skip trace which I did a few times and burned a hole in my wallet.

Appliances and fixtures were old and tired.Basically, the core bones of the property were good, but there were a lot of things that seemed ripe for easy improvement.The location was great, right next to the town’s primary commercial district, with a grocery store 100 yards away, coffee shop/bakery, Post Office, drugstore, hardware store, hair and nail salons, barber shop, dentist, bank, a half dozen restaurants, and a variety of other shops and services.

I will of course use YouTube and other online sources, but I'd also like to speak with a person and even build a relationship with my local hardware store!

With that said, I switched to Nerd Wallet. 

Spare the agent, spoil the builder, break your wallet.

Plumbing and HVAC especially.I found my guy at the small ACE hardware store.
