Paint, countertops, appliances, new lighting and I would call it good.

The kitchen cannot be used as a passageway, and for that number of children would require a kitchen large enough for commercial appliances.5.  

The rents are just extremely low for the area for most units.My forced appreciation would be to bring the units up to a higher standard: new flooring, appliances, paint, and possibly countertops. 

Any appliance using propane needs the orifice and perhaps other parts changed to accommodate propane so I expect it is rare that someone uses propane when the gas bill isn't paid. 

Clogged toilet, appliance repair, tree roots in sewer.

Otherwise I would find the replacement costs for roof and hvac most importantly, maybe bundle water heater and all appliances in to one pile with a 6-10 year life span, carpet (4 year life span?).

Hi Todd,(Assuming you are not allowed to do this before you bid) Once you move in pay of a home inspection service to give you a written report of the problems.That's the only way to tell.Then fix what's needed to be fixed.Peking through the windows will reveal if there appliances inside, but not their condition or remaining service life.Shop Vacs eat spiders, just remember they may still be alive in the vac-bag and crawl back out for their revenge when you turn it off.Good Luck!

I am looking for any referrals to great deals on flooring, tile, appliances, etc.
