My kitchen cabinets aren't super old, so painting them would save money (I believe), but Im wondering if it even matters.

I really don't even need advice.

Even if the property was grandfathered I would’ve still expected the inspector to mention something if that were the case. 

Our latest accountant, disregarded a $43,000 tax credit because she didn’t think we qualified for it, and didn’t even tell us.

I don't know what the deposit is but even if you figure just supplies for some of this stuff it will add up. 

And even if not passed, there have been some less than positive press on funds to acquire large numbers of SFR in certain markets, and local governments are becoming less accepting of them.

You need to get a clear understanding of the cost to repair, if it can even be repaired.

If not, stop what you are doing and don't analyze until you look at 10-20 homes in your area just to get a feel for smell, repairs, foundations, etc.Too many new investors are talking about how many deals they are analyzing when they have never even seen a property.

I entered "1" for the mortgage on the property that is paid off and I  entered "1" at year 19  for the property with 18 years because it did not calculate it even though I entered 18 in the Financing Assumptions box.

Even though I was cash challenged I held onto my house (putting past due payments on the backend) and had equity to sell, pay off debts, and get my credit in check.
