We also resurfaced the kitchen counter with a paint kit from Home Depot.We held the rental for 7+ years, increasing the rents over the years to our final Tenant who paid $1,395.Over the years, the home warranty replaced the HVAC for us with little contribution on our part (yes, home warranties are good if you have the right one).

The tenant had one attempted break-in and had to replace the broken door and windows, but the robbery failed.

As for the electric company that wanted you to install a replacement metre that wasn't in stock for 6-7 weeks-that is a problem on THEIR end. 

new deck, front entry stairs, new landscaping, removed weed overgrowth, exterminated pests, fixed some siding and roof damage, fixed clogged plumbing, replaced fixtures, improved drainage, added structural posts and reinforced basement joists.What was the outcome?

CapEx, you stated some equipment is old (hot water heater etc.) a percentage of that rent should be applied towards the replacement I'd those items on top of regular maintenance, in my opinion.

Should you replace the whole roof?

My start in REI came with getting a subscription to Audible and replacing Music, TV and Sports with listening / reading books (most of them twice) - starting with Rich Dad Poor Dad.

My area it is $6 sf to replace with a moderate LVP. 3000 sf*$6 sf=$18000/10 year life span/12 months in a year=$150 per month.

They need to know my plans to sell, rent and if I plan to repair or replace the siding, and perform any additional renovations, etc. before they send me estimates.
