@Micah Haworth The key is to buy a property with good bones and a good layout. Then you really should need:

1. paint

2. flooring

3. previously mentioned upgrades to the kitchen and bath (coordinate them if you can)

4. updated light fixtures (I like brush nickel)

5. ceiling fans in the bedrooms (get ones that you can get extra parts for)

6. clean up the yard 

7. simple mulch and landscape that is tenant resistant

This will go a very long way!
