I am planning on redo-ing the kitchen, bathroom, all flooring, paint, and outdoor landscaping.

Currently out of need myself (wife and two kids), parents, and two of my special needs brothers are doing a light remodel to the house (mostly due to age or poor construction).

HINT (assuming you have more than just a flip phone): wait til dusk, turn all the lights on in the house, and take a landscape picture of your exterior.

Plus, if I have some "Smart" features, I could do smart lighting, connect thermostat and all that to the same hub. 

I've pretty much settled on a light gray for all of the walls and white trim and ceiling. 

Rooms with no ceiling lights are not that uncommon.My living room in my personal home does not have a ceiling light.

The previous owner must have been upset about his/her loss because there were holes in almost every wall, lights pulled from the ceiling, appliances damaged, etc. 

You can do just fine getting 0.6 or 0.7% rent to purchase price in Las Vegas because…No state income tax, very low property tax, low insurance rates, stucco siding and tile roofs than last 50+ years, no maintenance landscaping, no tornadoes, hail or snowstorms, properties are considered old here at 20-30 years, not 100 like some areas. 

Very useful advice @Duncan TaylorSince this is definitely not legal advice I would be interested in hearing from other seasoned investors about what they have done.The guru scene is all about layering entities, yet at a recent Meet Up I attended everyone looked at me like I had just salted a light bulb when I asked who does that.

Knowing this will put you light years ahead of the local competition.
