We all know what goes on in bathrooms and what kind of extra care they need.

As others have stated, your fit & finish goals should be guided by whether you plan to:1) Rent: tenants don't always take care of a property, so you want to use lower-grade materials and workmanship.2) Flip: higher quality on workmanship and materials is usually required.Regardless, you always want to "Maintain to the Neighborhood".

As long my refi goes through ok I think I'd like to hold onto the BRRR and be more careful about what I get into next.

🤔 I was raised sharing is caring. 😊  True. 

Set a clear budget, research properties carefully, and keep growth potential in mind as you plan.Good luck!

Secondly when I was more involved with CA RE in the LA basin. 

I'd add a late fee to the lease renewal, but if they are struggling to pay rent now, when the baby comes, they will be down one income for a bit and then have child care, so will likely have more problems. 

If its an attorney closing state same thing ask the attorney or one of their staff.Generally though be care of those reaching out and promising rates that are simply better than current rates thats almost always a fake lender or a bait and switch..

I don't care much about soap and shampoo, but quality TP is something they will definitely notice.

You can do both, not an either or, but focus on the one you like the mostRE and CRE are great if done carefully and methodically and with patience, but so is picking individual stocks.
