I will need to do some minor updates to the property (painting, updating bathroom tiling, updating trims, etc) in order to get the property rent ready. 

Getting Organized: Finding Functional Patterns and Flow

What are the beach erosion patterns, both in +/- within a year and the overall direction of the trend? 

That makes the steps look nice, but they do stand out as different.I prefer tile for bathrooms since they are more at risk of getting wet and having sitting water.

However, if you're talking about flooring, tile, cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, etc... that will add up quickly. 2) Did you confirm the market rents in several ways/methods?

3. for 10+ property owners - does this pattern change, or you are diversified enough?

If you are early in the project, you can often scale down other parts of the renovation to cover the cost, i.e. that terrazzo tile that would have been perfect is no longer in the budget.  

Most home warranty policies would cover leaks.As far as what is acceptable, in my market (Milwaukee) nobody bats an eye on cast iron sewer pipes or clay tile sewer lateral.

I had a property tented for termites, which broke some concrete roof tiles.  

Do you have any recommendations for a good tile person?
