Too many cooks in the kitchen is NEVER a good idea.

Roommates are free to use the whole kitchen, dishes, etc.

Often, Lowes has them on sale for $399 and sometimes I purchase 3 or 4 of them with 3 or 4 17 to 18 cubic foot refrigerators for about $500 each.I always go with white appliances because white brightens up the kitchen.

So, I got my first and only property in 2019 - it’s a 2 bed 2 bath apartment in Jersey city where I live in one bedroom and rent out the other - kitchen and living room are fully furnished.

Started with some of the obvious repairs, Kitchen faucet, fixed a interior door and patched some drywall.

Thanks Will they have use of a larger common area (living room, kitchen, dining room)?

The Kitchen, Living room and utility are needing to be refloored.

I got 3 quotes - they're all expensive, but something in the line of $700-1400 for the first room ($1400 incl. kitchen/living/bath as well) then $300-400 for ea additional room. 

It is not standard for month to month all that is required is 30 day notice prior to the first, but my tenants have usually given 60 days.I also have a added to my lease / security Deposit a $250.00 charge a redecorating fee if they stay less than 6 months. 

Overall, my experience is that tenants have very little vision of "what it's going to be", so unless you are substantially done - kitchen, bathrooms, flooring in; paint on the walls; all major construction finished - I would wait.
