You should keep a 10-20% margin per clean depending on the market. 

New home builders are offering great rates with their lenders and paying closing costs, with a VA loan you can put 0% down, its insane.

Thankfully you have partial overlay cabinets, so some wood-fill for the holes, sand and touchup paint.Not sure what is on the other side, or over, your range, but me, adjusting the layout would be the ideal option, but will likely not be cheap, since it will almost certainly result in new counters, if not also some fill and/or a new cabinet or two (depending on if any cabinet to the left of range is able to be moved over to corner area).What was originally there?  

For anyone who’s invested in the Blue Ridge area, I’m curious to know what occupancy rates you’ve seen (based on your property). 

You need to package everything correctly and shop several banks as they all have different appetites rates and terms.

Obviously it depends on size but I have repainted plenty of units for around $1000.00 or less in California to boot.

Mainly to do with the very high rental rates that are being asked by landlords.

It depends on the applicant/tenant.

Most investors we represent had at least a 5% increase in rate.

Depends on your state and I'm assuming you have the basic stuff about lease termination, eviction, etc.A few we like to add:- if you don't change filters, then tenants pay for a full duct cleaning- charge an admin fee for all HOA notifications, not just violations- Clear tenant responsibilities- Fees for adding or removing tenantsBest of luck!
