The actual cost of the turn is $2,843.17 but the security deposit returned to you is $1,650 (may change slightly on finalized intent to claim proceedings.) 

I think you are looking at the wrong places, insulating the floor wouldn't change much. 

Change your story each month as different stories will resonate with different people AND use each story to emphasize one of your “who do you know…” questions.

With markets adapting to changing economic conditions, now is the time to explore innovative investment strategies.

No one understands (except the PM) why it cost $100 to send the maintenance guy to change $3 worth of batteries. 

Or in your case, maybe even change classes of property and use what's known as a consolidation exchange to combine the sales into a larger asset like a multi-family or commercial property.

While I agree with all your points (especially the unconstitutional eviction moratorium), selling means you will a) get hit with huge capital gains taxes (my friend just sold his 5-unit and got hit with $150,000 tax bill), b) there is no place to invest the proceeds (stock market is too risky, banks are risky and pay really low interest), and c) you are too young and if you change your mind and want to purchase more investment properties, interest rates and prices are too high. 

One of the utilities, South West Gas, based in CA, gave me a hard time putting the account into my own name. after several calls, faxing the court-stamped eviction order, verifying my deed through the County, etc,  the operator finally agreed and started to backdate the account change to the beginning of the process!

Your goals change.

I'm assuming that Jerry Norton keep changing the name of his system.
