If we know that the roof is older, but still has useful life remaining, then it is their decision to replace now or wait until slightly later.Water heaters, furnaces, appliances, these are all the same decision process.If you purchase from a good provider that is open and honest about showing the true condition of these expensive items, then you are better able to justify a lower or higher capex expectation.

The kitchen is right above it, checked all the appliances (including the fridge with the ice maker), under the sink - all is dry there ....

Supplying appliances (Range, Fridge, Washer, dryer) and tacking on $40ish/monthHope that helps some.

I assume by "everything" you mean appliances, cabinets, toilets, etc.

Used homes requiring a complete remodel, new appliances, new HVAC, etc. were over $25K.

Obviously those that are needed to stay competitive are a little easier to decide, but I'm looking more at upgrading appliances or countertops etc.

Just a place where locals can trade ideas on contractor rates, good contractors, places to get supplies, appliances anything else.  

Is the building secure, and will the appliances/copper, etc be there by the time it gets rented? 

Eventually carpets, appliances and air conditioners need replaced.

For example, kitchen which would cover cabinetry, countertops, and appliances,bathrooms which would include new vanity, new tub, tile tub walls, mirror, etc., flooring, painting, windows and doors, rough carpentry, finish carpentry, HVAC, roof, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, rough electrical and plumbing, and landscape.
