 Will the renovation bring in a higher rent rate and pay for itself? If not, then consider doing the bare minimum to get it rented.

The better your property is maintained, the more a tenant is willing to pay, the longer they will stay, and the better they will take care of it (usually). Don't let your maintenance get too far behind.
