All in all it was: Tear down kitchen and bathroom to framing than renovate, remove old linoleum and carpet, sand hardwoods and reseal them, paint, all the plumbing in the house was upgraded to pex, dishwasher installed, butcher block counter tops, sink, insulation behind every wall we took down, and lots of little odds and ends.

The house has a fenced in yard, wood floors and vinyl plank on the main floor but new carpets upstairs. 

We replace the carpet in the bedrooms upstairs and replaced ceiling tiles, added lighting and a wall with a barn door to make a bedroom in the lower level walk out.

Everyone else on your team will be transaction-based and not really involved after a purchase.We're in the Metro Detroit area, so you may want to follow our blog here on BP, but at least read the following posts:How to “Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesIn our experience you will need to:1) Learn to "Maintain to the Neighborhood", not your personal standards2) Tenant-Proof everything you can Hard surface flooring, not carpeting (too easy to trash) Same basic paint for everything No garbage disposals for them to break Only spring-type doorstops also with plate on the wall Glue rubber mats under sinks to prevent water damage Sheet aluminum on walls around stovetops, for easy grease removal Towel racks - screw 1x3 to wall studs, then screw rack to that Install low-profile downspout ext, not aluminum that always disappear Plan on cleaning gutters and leaves up in the fall as tenants won't Avoid garage door openers3) Have a great application screening process: Check credit for evictions & convictions, utility collections Focus on employment/income stability Require bank or debit card statement - you'll be surprised what they spend their money on!

A specific case would be putting in brand new carpet the week before listing for rent so the FMV and basis of the carpet are the same.2.

Not true the ceiling needed to be patched and painted, carpet replaced due to all the stains and mold, the bathroom vanity replaced from moisture damage and the bill paid for the drying company.

Replaced kitchen, main floors, doors, trim and carpet throughout house.

I live in NY and everyone hates carpet.

Upholstery and carpeting stained and slashed by their (illegal) cats. 

My unit has new vinyl flooring, bedroom carpet, kitchen granite, and newly painted cabinets.
