The plant has added no value to the area during this time but rather has served as wasted space and an eyesore for residents.

Kit showers or tiling, or tiling the shower (hot mop or tub shower then tile the rest) all are different3) what is the cost to renew the floor with a LVP?

Speaking to a commercial realtor in the hospitality space would help you figure out the best way to market and sell a property like this.

Perhaps take a look at:  https://www.loopnet.com/ and see which types of commercial lease listings interest you and from there take inventory of which brokerage and listing agents are prominently features in the space that interests you.

It's also unlikely that you can convert a single-family home into a community center (not sure if you mean an actual community center or co-living space).

Definitely get the structural engineer to look at the joists & support beams to see what's up with the uneven floors.

If you are going to build a shelter, maybe set aside some space for another charity to come in and put in a soup kitchen type of facility to feed your homeless population on the site.Just my 2 cents.

@Clare Pitcher we do 12+ month leases to avoid vacancies Nov-Feb.If we take over an occupied property, evict or have tenancy-abandon a property, we first let the owner know finding a tenant will take longer than "normal".This opens up owners to understanding they may need to:1) Offer 3D tour and floor plans to stand out2) Price more aggressively or be prepared for aggressive price reductions3) Offer MoveIn Specials:- NOTE: we do NOT recommend offering a month of free rent that can be used at MoveIn.

The house was on a crawl space, which will become important later. 

It's an 860sf unit, so it would be right around the $2.00/sf mark as a LTR, if not a bit higher.I inherited an existing long-term tenant in the first floor apartment, so that unit isn't in nearly as good shape as the fully renovated upstairs unit.
