To estimate the cost of finishing (i.e. cabinetry, carpeting, countertops, lighting, etc.) the appraiser picked a random number.

Absolutely love all the natural light in the kitchen/living room, that is beautiful!

Or anyone who could shed some light!?

A painting of vineyards might look good on the walls, plus some special lighting.

Every day I see ugly paint and light fixtures that prevent a unit from renting resulting in vacancy and lower rents.

Then I look at the condition of the propertyA = Brand new constructionB = 1975 and newer homes with a FULL renovation (Roof, HVAC, Appliances, All hard-surface floors, Exterior and Interior cosmetic repairs and paint, Hardware replaced, New light fixtures, Fenced in Backyard, and more!)

Then you can have two wall switches -- one for the light and another for the fan.

Replacing a section of floor, door, or light fixture is pennies compared to the $7,000-$10,000 tuck point job the seller never completed. 3.

The lease is fairly general, it simply states that they should not do anything other than routine maintenance like light bulbs, furnace filter, etc.

Could be something as small as the pilot light out on her hot water heater.
