I recently got a job with Home Depot doing cabinet refacing, has anyone gone through with this program before?

What kind of cabinets are those?

If there are holes. dings, stains, burn marks, broken cabinets, etc., then repairs or replacement will likely be needed to get maximum rent.I think keeping your Hawaii properties is a good idea.  

Carpet, cabinets, tile, lights, etc. 

The Kitchen cabinets are in the property, as are fans, light fittings, bathroom sink... the biggest expense would be a refrigerator and hot water heater .and flooring in the bedrooms.

I think I'll keep it in my filing cabinet of cool solutions.cheers!

I currently live in the unit that I want to repair (aka paint cabinets and install new flooring).

We had to remove each piece of wood and then afterwards, scrape and spackle all of the walls in the building.The game plan was to replace all 20 windows, all the doors, and the majority of the trim, retile the bathrooms, sand all the hardwood floors, new kitchen cabinets and granite, backsplashes, new exposed duct work, etc.

Adding too much stuff in your short-term rentals is equivalent to over-rehabbing (except tenants can't easily steal paint/cabinets, but they can steal stuff you buy).Basically I understand the desire to make your tenants as happy as possible and give them an awesome experience, but if your market doesn't care about a certain amenity, don't force it on them, there's no value to be gained on the tenant side nor your end.An approach we used to find amenities is to get the minimum amount of stuff possible (I don't think we even had a coffee maker) and just ask our guests what's missing and what they'd like to see - once we got enough responses it was only then we threw in the inventory.

We have a tenant who literally damaged the property like a cyclone went through it, cabinet doors came off, smoke detectors removed with wires exposed, attic door missing, mirrored closet doors cracked etc... section 8 demands landlord is responsible for the repairs.
