I was in one of my vacant units after we finally locked out the squatter from an eviction and came across this in the kitchen.  

I want to open up a kitchen, gut two bathrooms, get rid of a 35” x 35” closets, and open up the basement (where I have a couple of walls, floating ceiling and carpeted flooring).Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Renters call me, I give them the address and leave the door unlocked with keys on the kitchen table. 

Kitchen is dated and has old range.

They can sue you for damages, which might include everything from staying in a hotel trying to find another place to having to eat at restaurants because they don't have a kitchen.

I have repeatedly seen the house just plain dirty; bathroom is gross, kitchen floor and countertop is always "thick", the bedrooms have crap piled all over the floors.

I'm budgeting 50k a sq  (300k) to renovate the interior: plumbing, electric, 5 kitchens, 5 baths 5 new hvac systems.  

Other than that, most oddly pleasing to 20 somethings feature I always make sure to point out are the USB / 110v receptacles I use. 1 per bedroom wherever the night stand would go, one in living room, one on kitchen counter as long as it’s far enough away from the sink to not need a gfci.

Then I have a leak in the kitchen and need a plumber so I ask another investor in my complex if she has used anyone and I call this guy who has worked on a lot of the units in my complex.

We would fill in a 3/4 wall and add a deadbolt lock door to separate the two spaces, leaving the first half with the 3 secondary bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with the kitchen, family room, and laundry, with a garage door entrance.
