This little cottage didn't need granite in the bathroom (which we did).

Water had ran from the 2nd floor so I had to redo the ceiling on the first floor, redo the floors, new granite counter tops, SS appliances, and had to redo the basement.

Granite Counters and all new fixtures.

Smaller class A-B SFH with granite countertops and other items on a faster schedule?

You must know the area, what the comps can justify, What rehab features cost in the area, what the tenants desire and are willing to pay for (maybe all tenants would prefer granite counters but in lower class areas they typically are not going to pay extra for it). 

Initially I thought that the rehab would be much lighter than what it turned out to be.Unit #1: Trim throughout, doors, luxury vinyl plank + tile in the bathroom, new vanity & toilet, paint, granite counter tops, new cabinets & sink, stainless steel appliances, and updated fixtures. 

I agree, I use granite/quartz in all my rentals (B class).

The previous owner has replaced the HVAC, water heaters and put in granite countertops in the past couple of years.

This was paid off several times & the last guy put in a $15k kitchen, complete with granite counter tops, all new hardwood flooring, some appliances & due to his business failing, separation/divorce & just giving up we took it back & paid the current tax arrears of $4k.There will be many opportunities & cash will be the deciding factor, in fact this week we agreed to HML/finance a foreclosure for a fellow investor. 3 rental properties on 16 acres for the asking price of $59k, CASH.
