Seems to me cash out refinance is the way to go, keeping more money in my pocket, and readjusting the cash flow of existing property to fit a specific income threshold over time to minimize income taxes in retirement (Right now my taxable income is in the low to mid six figures but in retirement I plan on keeping my realized investment income low so I am free of capital gains taxes).Plus this way I can always come back to the Seattle area and move into one of my rentals if my retirement destination (Florida) doesn't work out. 

The more they do the cheaper it is or should be. 

And, even roommates will want a 3 bedroom because it'll be cheaper for them to split the rent among 3 people than 2 people.I have a 2 bedroom that's the same square footage as a 3 bedroom in the same track so everything is pretty much the same except for the difference in number of rooms.

You can replace doors on cabinets far cheaper than new cabinets. $70 for doors (any size) and $45 for drawers (any size) at kitchenreface.com.

Should I be looking for a cheaper tile? 

I am leaning towards the cheaper of the two.

So, you can choose the cheaper route but like anything else, that will have an impact on your asset value.

That leaves me $1873 ($4,200-$2,327) in taxable income.  

Been there, done that - - no fun either.My approach wasexisting tenants were at peace until you arrivedyou have the shortest tenancyif you can't behave, then you will be the one evicted.I've instructed other tenants to call the sheriff if there's any further disturbance.The outcome was I ended up trading the keys for partial deposit refund to expedite the eviction - - cheaper costs and far faster.

We recently did a bathroom super nice but used the "cheaper" materials.
