A fixed rate loan is fixed as to required interest and principal only. If there is a reserve (escrow) account, that part of the payment will fluctuate as insurance and property taxes go up and down.
A fixed rate is a known quantity. An adjustable rate can move, usually up to 2% per year. If you consider an adjustable, be sure to read the fine print. What index does it follow? What are the maximum, life of loan adjustments permitted? I'd want the least volatile index coupled with no more than 2% per year and 5% lifetime adj. range.
Even then, I'd be more comfortable with a fixed rate loan.

Some updates would be beneficial and others might not be. Most people change carpets soon after moving in but I would paint the rooms that are bad with a regular white. Redoing the kitchen is not always a good idea as you might not get all of your money back from that. I would just want to see a clean house when I am looking because I feel if the owners couldn't keep the house clean then they couldn't maintain it very well either. Remodeling magazine comes out with a cost vs value report every year that would be good for you to read if you can find it.
