Hi Victoria,All of those individuals could hold the solution to your problem but may not necessarily offer budget friendly options as they have their own additional fees for such service.I would suggest speaking with a Carpenter or General Contractor who specializes in Kitchens and Baths as they can assist with the design and execution of the project.As far as some options that you have (without seeing you kitchen) you can refinish the cabinets to update the color, replace the cabinet doors to a modern style, or update the counter top and backsplash.

They can better assist with any questions you have about that particular parcel.

The tenant is contesting it in court though, may apply for state assistance, etc and it is going slow.

If you want to help struggling tenants, donate money to rent assistance funds.

I lost my dad 32 years ago and it still hurts.Feel free to PM me if I can assist you.  

Are there any applications you would recommend to assist in self-management?

Rents in the area continue to rise and home prices have had double digit growth for nearly 3 years (97405 zip code).

Generally they can assist. 

Myself, Housekeeping manager (1), Maintenance specialist (1), Virtual Assistants (2), 1099s for cleaning, inventory, laundry jobs-how often do you do a “market survey” to check other properties?

COC returns for both are double digits as well from my experience as well.
