Thought rent houses should be durable with brown cabinets and travertine.

In addition the bathroom has plenty of lighting, mirrors, a medicine cabinet, towel rods and a tile shower/tub.Prospective Tenant ScreeningMust pass a criminal and credit/background checkNo prior evictionsIncome 3X Rent:   3,600 per month or 43,200 per year or co-signer requiredApplication must be filled in completely and information should match when screening process takes place

If curious you can see some examples at www.NexusApartmentLiving.com - basically very reasonable prices were paid for the properties usually 20,000 a unit less than other similar properties (that is really where you make your money) and on average we did about 10,000 or less per unit in renovations adding new flooring, granite countertops, new cabinets, stainless steel appliances and of course other common area upgrades based on the property. 

Not sure if about that building and unit, with that HOA....and those cabinets!

You have made many missteps.The old-looking brown cabinets with dark hardware are not very appealing.

Mostly doing a lipstick rehab- paint inside and out, landscaping, painting kitchen cabinets, quarts counters and a full rehab of the bathroom.

Updating cabinets, carpet, paint vanity etc, could add value (not like a house addition of course) and from what I see now if this reno also mixed with finding a deal to buy well below market value this will help to some extent.

I prefer wood with white cabinets, tile with wood stained cabinets.

Since they are all working in different areas, we can generally do all of this over one or two days.By this time, we're generally about a week into the project.The next day is cabinet installation.

I am considering having a real estate agent video tape/vid chat house showing, have an inspector inspect the house (without me), I would go there for the closing of course, but maybe deal with minor upgrades like flooring or cabinet upgrades as remotely as possible and finding a property manager to take care of it.
