His bid is for 24500 but we are paying for floors, paint, cabinets, bathroom materials and appliances separately.  

increased rents, replaced all cedar shake siding, painted whole house, landscaping interior paint, new appliances, remodeled one bathroom.

I don't know what it is, but when tenants move out, I swear there are gremlins in appliances and/or HVAC units. 

My question is, how do you all decide on weather or not to do minor updates, such as, paint ((especially paint)), flooring, appliances, etc. the reason I ask is, I second guessed myself when I was done with the bathroom.

start growing fruit trees, ( tenants usually didn't care about it , each time visiting them , I take care the trees ). 2017 after hurricane , we got $27 ,000 insurance claim recovery fund, the house got new (entire) roof , better fence, new ceiling (half of the house ) , also use home warranty service to keep the appliances alive.

(Budget decision).But 'high' figuring $13k appliances, $6k plumbing, $5k electrical, $2k paving/cement work, $2k painting (kids and me labor), $12k new flooring (kids and me labor), and  new roof, $14k (done!!). 

The day the appliances and fixtures go in, they're stolen.

I can assume that whatever access there is to the 2nd floor, it's not up to code, and will likely be an issue that needs to be addressed.You can go as detailed as you like with this, adding cabinets, appliances, "junk to be removed", etc.

I am beginning to look to purchase my first multi family rental property and have lots of concerns that I may not know enough about the conditions of homes, quality of appliances etc.
