.* Less likely to break down and need repairs* Will cost about $2K to replace - and I think could add much more (I'd imagine $6-10K) to the appraised value.Is it worth it?  

My units are under 400 sqft each, so you can imagine how important every sq in is in my case.  

I imagine this was a full time job for them?

I imagine you purchased in the top of the Bubble.

Thanks everyone, but the renovation part of this is 98% done, with still a little room for improvement... which is my downfall because I keep thinking of new ways to keep pouring money into this thing, and I gotta stop that.I've broken up my story because I have a thousand progress photos.So why don't I continue.....Ah, the photo is right side up.So that chair and the metal desk came with the house.

Can't imagine you'll find much better rates than you currently have.

I can't imagine there being any norm or hard and fast rule on this - I am curious what others on the forum respond with.  

Imagine that you are starting a business and it's head office will be at this property.

Unless you need to take everything to the framing and replace plumbing I can't imagine spending that kind of money on a flip bathroom.  

I couldn't imagine starting my flipping out of state.
