I work with a management company and have done hundreds of rental turns and turnkey rehabs. Now, these were all on sfr and small mfr and apartments, so I haven't really done any for condos. Typically for rentals, I really try to do as minimal as possible. Anyways, if you do the $10k in upgrades, that would take you 3 years to recover that investment.

@Matt Mabry unless it is extremely outdated and/or in poor condition then I wouldn't do anything drastic. I am assuming it wasn't too bad since you were living there and had a roommate paying you rent. With that said, if a place is outdated I typically change fixtures (light fixtures, fans, door and cabinet hardware), paint kitchen cabinets, and paint the unit. Depending on the flooring and kitchen appliances you may need to replace those also. Just curious, where is the condo at? That would also dictate what you need to do. Looking at what other people have in their units for rent around would help you figure out what to do.
