Might just bite the bullet and dump a few hundred bucks down the drain every month until I can sell this place and break even.What a waste

In my experience, and the experience of hundreds of professional property managers I network with, counting the late fee as "extra income" will come back to bite you.

All new MEPS, insulation, windows, roofs, siding, flooring, sheetrock, tile, cabinets, doors, etc.

That always makes it so much harder to rent, or secure a great tenant.Here's my standard go to list now for long term rental updates:-LVP that looks like wide plank white oak-Ultra Pure white on all the walls-Vertical/ modern stack backsplashes and showers-Pop of color on the cabinets (pop of color can include black too)-Butcher block countertops (lower end) or white quartz countertops (higher end)-Modern light fixtures in brushed brassKeep it neutral still but a couple of style choices with the light fixtures (which are cheap) and it will appeal to the masses.Good luck! 

They handed out new debt at '18' rates "saving" the business's and all they could do and "save", ooohhhh how we should sing song's of these great "saviors" to us all.... and ignore that they did it with OUR MONEY, consolidating trillions in business that had been compiled over decades of effort by hundreds/thousands of business, all unto 1 national to-big-to-fail goliath.     

If converting a commercial unit to residential costs $50k and only brings in a few hundred dollars more in rent, it might not be worth it.
