Laminate flooring, tile, new appliances etc, will bring that number closer to the $5000-$6000 range.

The reason I bring up the fact that this is a flip with all new appliances, plumbing, electrical is because that would certainly cut back on immediate future repairs?

All appliances: including dishwasher and washer machine in every unit. it's a turn key property.Am I missing something?

There's a lot you can't include on MLS, such as videos, URLs, and specific info about finishes, appliances, ect.

So every tenant wants new appliances, new cabinets, new flooring, etc but if your rents are already at market levels then this would not be beneficial to you.

Your mortgage/financing is a whole separate consideration.Back to your properties, it sounds like they are older and would likely need a little more maintenance than your average home (appliances, plumbing, electrical, etc).

This tenant would gladly look past stainless steel appliances if it meant being within 3 minutes of a train station.

As a landlord - I have to say appliances have become one of the biggest headaches.  

All the appliances are working.

This includes new water heater, new furnace, new AC, and updated paint, appliances and flooring, and updating the electric service.
