I would also opt for a galley style kitchen with an open island / peninsula similar to your 1 Bed scheme.  

I do have multiple income sources; rentals took over as the largest about 5 or 6 years ago, just a few years before I retired from a career in military/local government.

We're looking more towards some of the islands rather than the mainland.

Like, in the mountains, or the San Juan Islands.

But I want to cash flow more somehow in thousands  not sure on your capital funding for Miami but if you have the capital and backing I'd look at development for STR towers in the 50-100 unit range. you can get lots around 1.2 million that you can go 12 stories on with structured parking in Wynwood right now that you can build a 15 million dollar asset worth 30 million. you can do the condo exit or hold it as apartments and permit short term rentals. there are some great articles about short term rental occupancy. miami has 22 renters for every 1 available apartment and has the #1 net migrations in the state of florida for cities and florida is the #1 net migration state. it is land locked and developer friendly. it's under built.

A different investor will have different criteria.On the other hand CrowdStreet tends to have one of the largest volumes of deals.

Zarrin  Crowdstreet has traditionally had the largest # of deals to choose from (although at the moment has just a handful). 

He's the one that created islands off the coast of Panama city - a hugely successful development .

Nationwide has the third largest children's hospital in the U.S. here in Columbus.

Full guts of the bathrooms, replacing all fixtures, throwing modern tile finishes for the tub/shower, new vanity, new cabinets in the kitchen, island, new stainless-steel appliances, new flooring throughout, new recess lighting, and likely new siding on the property to give it a more freshened pop for when it goes back on the market.
