We rip the awful upstairs kitchen out because the cabinets (well made but not salvageable) had to go.

Also, the freshly painted cabinets in the kitchen were starting to develop a light green mildew.

My mom owns 4 rentals there & my brother still lives there running a cabinet shop & doing his own taxidermy cabinets as well.

I added a new roof, new pex tubing, complete remodel of the bathroom and new flooring in the living room and hallway along with painting the interior doors and walls and new paint scheme on the exterior.Kitchen stayed as it was but I had the cabinets painted to give them an updated look.

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.
