It's full of dings, dents, scratches (I live in South Philly, nothing but street parking), missing a hub cap, and its in "crap gold" color.

They have some really wonderful colors/styles, tile has came a loooooong way and is really great now!   

The old stuff looks clean and not dreadful, and is in neutral colors, but isn't that nice (e.g. the cabinets are kind of rickety and the DW/fridge don't really fit all that well into the space made for them, the floors aren't missing pieces, but also are a bit uneven in places).  

I would make sure the units have modern appliances including dishwashers and modern color schemes.

It could turn out good or bad.Of course we have a colorful President who is the wild card in all this.

I had a applicant like that who started demanding repainting the kitchen because they didn’t like the color, demanded I lower my security deposit as they felt it was unnecessarily high and wanted a bit lower rent because it was off season. 

Maybe true, maybe not.I took it 100% online and as far as I know passed with flying colors.

All you want is to repair any sections you need to (you'll probably find some after you sand), sand it down just enough to remove obvious signs of wear, putty up and color the gaps, and seal in place with a thinned sealer coat of oil-based polyurethane and three more coats.

When I looked at it a few things jumped out at me; it looked like a manufactured home but it was stick built, adding to the look was a 1 X 6" molding between the "skirting" and the house proper, that was painted a clashing color, it was a 2/1 but there was an 8' X 14' laundry room that was crying out to be a 1/2 bath. 

So your income is really 30kAnother applicant started to make demands like wanting the kitchen repainted because they didn’t like the color.
