Both units are quite nice on the inside, kitchens could use some upgrading. 

The homeowner that is making significant money has rarely invested anything beyond their mortgage and a few upgrades.

Some upgrades to MEP.

Some require 30%.It doesn't matter how great a deal it is and how much immediate equity you'll have on closing.However, if you will have a lot of immediate equity or can do repairs/upgrades to get there, you can do a cash-out refi 6-12 months down the line. 

We plan to do upgrades as needed ourselves, paying as we go. 

Some items are full stop improvements (think structural things like a roof or foundation, which are inherent to the property being habitable), and others are quite clearly repairs (like fixing something broken). Fully

There could be a lot of issues that are not found on a SEC 8 inspection, and there could be a lot of things that may have been fine on a SEC 8 inspection 6-9 months ago that are broken now.

Ask if they have any issues that you may be able to address.I treat tenants as customers and have empathy for them - give them some leverage when they fall on hard times - but be firm and let them know that this is your business and you depend on the rent to keep your operation running.There are times when you can supply the tenants with up-grades, Frig, new stove micro wave - with those items supplied you'll be able to increase their rent a little.Treat your tenants with respect - thy are your customers and their rent pays your mortgages and gives you an opportunity for a wonderful cash flow and future retirment.Cheers
