Electricity alone on a 2 bed is usually around $200-250.  

Charge the old tenant for cleaning and repairs, unpaid rent, and other expenses.

I've got the common sense items such as clean the lint trap, report leaks ect.

Given this is where my major operating expenses fell (beyond taxes and insurance), keeping this cost lower, by average, helps my cash flow.I invest in older neighborhoods, so the 2-4 unit properties, typically have single water meter, maybe single electric, and many have radiator heat with a single boiler.  

One of my friends uses comped quarterly cleaning as their inspection day and trains the cleaners to take photos and videos of everything.

Wholesaler had it for $90k "as-is", another wholesaler bought it, cleaned it out, and relisted it for $120k.

I would add that you can go a long way just having some clean color schemes (two wall colors and one trim color will do almost any house) and a few tasteful accent pieces. 

If you open up the wall to do something, you will need a permit for plumbing and electrical a lot of the time because they will want to see behind the wall before you close it.

We removed a chimney to open up the space and updated all the major ticket items—new electrical, HVAC, and roof.
