I refinish tubs, countertops, and cabinets.

If nobody is in the home drive it first, look in the windows and see, if you can, if the cabinets are still there etc.Alos, people we have talked to about recent auctions say hedge funds are still bidding up the prices beyond reason on auction properties so set a max price and be prepared to "let it go".

You can offset a pantry if you have 36" tall upper cabinets, pending quantity. 

There are some really nice looking floors under all this dirt and that kitchen will get an island, all new cabinets, a utility room added and french doors leading out to a deck. 30 days is a really tight time frame but I'm pulling out all the stops to meet the deadlines.

In the kitchen I will be installing wood cabinets (walnut color) with white countertops. 

I keep most receipts and leases in a filing cabinet, but that is it.My goal is to purchase one more multi family, hold it, and use the equity and cash to break into a 30 unit complex so any suggestions on tools that can scale with me would be great. 

Island countertop is not even connected to cabinet.

I have a 1 page sheet that goes on the inside of a cabinet door in each apartment that has building rules and useful info, like when trash day is, don't store stuff in basement, what the parking policy is, when rent is due and how and where to pay it, maintenance number, office number, utility company number etc.

Shelves, cabinets, and kitchens stink, but doing bedrooms and living room in an empty house should take no more than a weekend.

Those properties are still being sold in the $135-150/ sq ft range; however the nicer versions that have new cabinets, appliances, recessed lighting, etc. are being sold in the $150-175+/sq ft range.
