Practical items to care for are: loose hardware particularly on chairs, tables, or stools, a fresh coat of paint on walls and baseboards, loose drawers, fumigation, bed frames, new linen, loose ceiling fans, functional electrical outlets.

I've actually never seen cabinets where the wall cabinets are a different color than the base cabinets. 

@Jaron Walling, I met with three contractors, walked the property, discussed what we wanted todo and got estimates for their work.

Hi there,

I am house hacking with a renter in the basement, and I want to put in a kitchenette and washer and dryers unit down there so she doesn't have to come upstairs to do it. I don't want to blow too much down...

Look for everything behind walls, in attics, under floors.....those things you can't see.

She wants to take down walls, choose lighting, choose tile, etc (all of this has been purchased and install is scheduled out).I told our realtors that we are not in the custom home business (I have no interest in that), and if the current unfinished state gives people walking through that customization is an option, I'd rather wait and not show it at all .

You can have home depot paint match to this color, and it costs very little to slap some pain on the walls, ceiling and trim.

Thin plastic panels were glued to the wall initially.

No copper stripped from our units yet...Second, is that I can see the writing on the wall with where the city and other west coast markets are going.

I TSPed the walls up and washed them, and the top two layers of paint started coming right off as soon as I wet down the walls.
