Tenants should be 100% responsible for consumables like air filters, water filters, light bulbs, etc.

I personally like House-hacking as primary choice in this market, followed by a light rehab BRRR, lastly would be flip or long term hold (unless you got a smoking deal!) 

That should be your guiding light ..

This year, between tenants, I will be replacing the carpet with vinyl flooring, updating the bathroom vanity/lighting/mirror, and some other small updates such as changing out light fixtures, and faucets, and switching the old blinds from fresh curtains.

@Benjamin SulkaThis one was mostly cosmetic: paint, carpet/floors, light fixtures, trim, landscape clean up, rodent remediation, bathroom vanities in the 1/2 baths, and some of the windows.Rehabbed one unit at the time aside from the windows.

Some cases we are doing light renovations such as adding new kitchen cabinets and granite countertops.

Luckily its only a mile away and a short drive with no street lights or traffic. 

I chose light colors to open it up more..

Looking for best recommendations when it comes to security cameras, motion sensor lights, key pad locks, ring cameras?

Can you shed any light on this?
