So you can fix the light switch or fixture; you can't remodel the kitchen.

Your are ALSO doing comp's to peg exactly what value the market places for different conditions of that home, what value it places on say an updated kitchen vs outdated, or facelift vs full reno, high end vs mid level.

We decided to focus on time home buyers, which is typically a young couple with kids looking for; a good school district, a backyard, 3bed room two bath, home, two car garage, a basement, an updated kitchen and bathroom, all painted an interesting neutral color scheme.

At 599 total heated square feet, the small tiny home will feature an open driveway, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living and dining combo, all electric, with a full size washer and dryer.

The owner/manager has been very responsive about calling an exterminator, but cleaning the kitchen counter of rat poo every morning is...memorable.You're spot on about getting a good cleaner; they can make or break the quality of the guest's stay.Keep up the good suggestions, and thank you!

We had another claim whereby a tenant claimed that they were injured by a kitchen cabinet which came loose from the wall.

A duplex has 2 kitchen (refrigerator, range, etc), water heaters, HVAC or furnace, 2x the bathrooms, etc.  

Kitchen appliances rarely fail and washers and dryers are easy to replace as I mentioned in #4.

I have seen houses where the departing residents took kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanties, toilets, suspended ceiling and hardwood flooring when they left. 

Sense check on the rents of my units: 5 BR 3 bath coach house with 1 parking spot ($2,500), 5 BR 2 bath duplex down ($2,450), 3 BR + den 1 bath unit with brand new kitchen, plus parking spot ($1,450).
