I had just began to market a beautiful, newly renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment and my first applicant was a women living in a homeless shelter. 

Having equal numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms also usually helps.

I have done bathrooms,  kitchens,  roofs,  concrete,  gas pipes,  all plumbing.. .  

We're still working on the house I described (tenants left in July), partly to fix the damages they left behind and to expand the master bathroom, replace the kitchen counters, repaint the entire house, lay down new flooring, etc. etc. etc..   

On move-out day I did my move-out inspection report with the tenant present and pointed to the stained and dirty carpets, holes on the walls throughout the unit and noticed the refrigerator wasn't totally clean and the bathroom wasn't clean.

The basement is some what finished, contains a full bathroom and several closets and what not.

Hi Lance - I just bought my first home/investment property in the Farmers Branch/Carrollton/Addison area and have plans to update the kitchen and bathroom before I move in and do some kind of house hack. 

(We are going to have a contractor out to get a better idea on this, but all rooms have holes in walls, none have acceptable flooring, neither bathroom is functioning, the heating system is not functioning, there are broken out windows, though the intact ones are replacement.

If the kitchen an bath rooms are 30 years old you may have to start planning to replace them sooner than later.

A little tiny leak a tenant did not ever tell me about, turned into a situation where I need to replace the bathroom vanity, flooring, and some drywall.
