When a "luxury apartment" with crappy laminate floor, mdf cabinets, and no space rents for $1300/month, our 1700 sf 3 bedroom with granite countertops and plywood cabinets look really good.

Flooring - recently moved to LVP from Laminated floorsCounters - QuartzCabinets - White Shaker cabinets with black handles - WoodFittings - All black fittings - door knobs, hinges, fans, faucets, etc. 

You are not obligated to make things pretty, install shelves so the Tenant has more storage space, buy them a ladder so they can reach the top kitchen cabinets, etc. 

Trash every where, all appliances destroyed, cabinets destroyed, bathtub tiled over?

We replaced the kitchen with new cabinets, counters, and paint.

The kitchen cabinets should have been painted with oil based paint and installed brush nickel hardware.

i'm confident with some TLC i can get $100 more per unit in a couple years. my plan is to take no cash flow in the beginning to get the property up to a level that can get fair market rents, that includes replacing the roof, and doing some updates to the kitchens like replacing the appliances and some cabinet refacing, updating the common areas and potentially repointing the facade.i've already spoken with a few banks that will do the cash-out refi in 6 months so i'm confident that i can get that done.  

No burn marks on walls or cabinet above. 

My grandmother had a bank account that worked fine, but Dad also found rolls of banknotes in the refrigerator, in the kitchen cabinets, etc. 

Cabinets, flooring, paint, etc.?
