a quick rule of thumb that works for me is $5 light rehab $10 medium rehab and $25 for a heavy rehab it will give a you a good ball park number based on the square footage of the home 

If switches and outlets are getting up there and Im doing fixtures and its a long term hold I replace them.

Don't give up that 2.6 lightly!

We plan on doing new floors, paint, appliances, painting kitchen cabinets white, granite counters, new light fixtures, new vanities in the bathrooms, and landscaping.

They don't need this to "push this industry in a positive light" All the MI experience has done is cast a bad light on the industry.

Any advice, numbers or light anyone can shed on my scenario?

The building is an older building with an elevator no laundry in unit or building but 8 minute walk to light rail and on block with bus to NY.

@James Wise I literally almost have that map memorized to the point I can look on the map and tell you what should be red, yellow, light green or green.

There's a gas valve and you need to light the pilot if it burns out but that's pretty much it. 

That means that not only does the house show well but it's got the normal features expected for its market; garage door opener, high efficiency HVAC, solar reflective window screens, attractive landscaping, good quality appliances and fixtures, nice decor touches.The best thing I ever did for keeping tenants longer was to require a minimum two year lease going in.
