Unless replacing those functioning appliances will allow you to raise rent, I wouldn't do it. 

Hi Asia,I'm biased, so I won't recommend any product in particular, but here are the top 6 functionalities you should look for in a Rehab Estimator tool:Estimate Starter Templates & Pricing DatabasesAbility to Customize Categories, Descriptions, Pricing & NotesAbility to Save Your Own Custom Templates for Future ProjectsAbility to Write a Scope of WorkAbility to Create Estimate Reports & SOW ReportsAbility to Track Your Actual Expenses Against Your Budget#1 Estimate Starter Templates & Pricing DatabasesEstimate Starter Templates and pre-built cost databases are a must-have feature to help you quickly get started estimating costs for your rehab projects.Building your own estimate cost databases from scratch can take days, if not weeks of research.

We picked the wrong operator and ran into many problems getting the facility filled and functioning efficiently. 

I'd start with how much property can you buy (a function of how much $ you have and what type of financing you've arranged to qualify for).  

When you learn enough to be functional you can go off on your own and you will have the "how to do" in addition to the "what to do".

Trying to utilize for all functions.

As far as structuring the partnership goes, it seems like at this point you will functionally be an agent on this person's team . . . in that case you'll want to dig into 1. what are the commission splits (yours/theirs) and what responsibilities will you perform on the behalf of the mentor/leader and what remuneration will there be, if any.In the future as you approach a different form of partnering you may find it good to form a business together and flesh out an operating agreement.
