So, if you want the best deal, find a place with all major capital expenditures (roof, AC, furnace, siding, foundation) taken care of, but could use new flooring, interior paint, cabinets, and bathroom finishes.

Thank you for taking the time to write the long post .Truth sucks.I have reduced the rent to 1750 to see if my house picks up.I will see how it does in the next week or so.The fees which you referred to is collected by the property management company and I couldnt control that .I thought it would be easy to maintain the property through a property management company.All the property managers around SA charge the same which i cross verified.But it proves otherwise .They never mentioned about these fees when I signed up or neither was it in the contract .I know the pictures dont have the rooms labeled.But there is a virtual tour with all the rooms.I will make the changes that I can possibly make.The builder didnt offfer any other upgrades.The house was fixed price with all the interiors same in the whole neighbourhood.I couldnt add or change anything.

Full painting throughout interior and exterior.

Built in 1952..... even the interior walls are curved.

It's a split-level, and they turned the two-car garage into an "apartment" area; they removed the garage doors, sided the exterior walls to match the rest of the house, insulated, drywalled, & painted the interior walls, etc.

It is a fourplex, so we are going to be redoing 4 bathrooms, 6 bedrooms, 4 kitches, floors, mini splits AC added, replacing plumbing, roof, repainting the exterior/interior. 

@Joshua Messinger , yes, the interior is outdated. these are 2 bedroom units, one side is vacant, the other has a long term tenant that wants to stay and is paying $600, comps are between $700-900. 

If you have central HVAC system, you typically remove the vent grille in each room, then the interior of the duct can be cleaned all the way back to the main HVAC unit with a series of large "bottle" brushes on extensions, rotated by some type of motor depending on size.

Line item each element...roof, siding, exterior paint, interior cabinetry, flooring, interior paint, plumbing waste and supply lines, etc. then google "construction useful life" to find charts that give you an estimated life of each element.
