If we inspect and find out that any of the major's are due to be replaced within our scheduled investment window, we either have the owner replace it, adjust our price to compensate, or walk away.Also, I've mentioned before (in various places) that my first property that I bought in April of 2010, the air conditioner went out in August of 2010 and we had to replace it. 

FYI...I don't see it listed but have been burnt a few times on Air conditioners and Furnaces.

These are just a few: wrinkle-resistant sheets (microfiber are the cheapest, most durable, and wrinkle-resistant)High-capacity automatic hand-soap and lotion dispensersrobot vacuumsShampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash dispensersShower curtains with snap-off liners

Either way, take down a sample board...clean and degloss it ...give it a light sanding....apply some wood conditioner (helps keep the stain even across the surface) and let it dry for 15 minutes or so.

They moved in with a broken washing machine that they set out on the back porch and left that behind along with a broken window air conditioner, a freezer they unplugged but left half filled with rotted meat, bags of mismatched shoes, broken furniture, childrens clothes, christmas ornaments, soggy bedding, rotting mattresses, more dirty diapers and, ironically, unused condoms.IF you can get a Section 8 tenant who can manage NOT to have a boyfriend/girlfriend/"fiance"/brother/sister/aunt/uncle/cousin/cousins children/babydaddy/babymomma/grandchildren come live with them because they've been evicted/kicked off someones couch/basement and have no place else to shack up you might have a chance to keep your rental unit in decent shape under this program. 

Change out the air filter on the air conditioner if it hasn't been.

I just had brand new electric furnaces and air conditioners installed along with ductwork, wiring, the whole 9 yards on a property that didn't have central heating/cooling before3 separate setups for 3 different units stacked on each other.

. $10-20,000 for the whole house including new laminate/vinyl flooring, paint, washroom redo, kitchens, air conditioner and built in wardrobes is about the market price.Finally, no capital gain taxes!

The 2/1 is available to rent - paid $7,001 for it, fixed windows, replaced stolen air conditioner, paint, cleaning, and minor items.
