As far as colors to pick, what floors, and what’s trendy looking. 

My advice for you (and my future self) so far is:- be very detailed about underwriting your deal- add at least 30% to what you think your rehab will cost (even if this figure came from a GC)- have a really detailed design concept before work starts (including fixtures/trim/color scheme/etc)- check with your city/township's building department and see what permits you need up front- have more than one exit strategy- add a few weeks/months to your projected timeline- purchase cash if at all possible- build relationships, take notes, and learn lessons along the way- have funGood luck! 

Just a stone's throw away in Cape Coral you have the "Seven Islands" coming to completion. 

Hey @Donald Muschany, I see you're in Sarasota - are you intending to have a more SW Florida (Cape Coral, Ft Myers, Naples) or more around the Sarasota area?

Fabuloso, which comes in all sorts of colors/scents, placed in a bowl under the filter at the furnace should take care of the smoke odor. 

Plus insurance rates are better.3) I’ve invested in Ocala, Tampa, and Cape Coral.

Paint colors, flooring, price per sqft labour and materials, etc...

They also come in colors (by order). 

If you are ready to go with a paint color for your owner's suite, then you'll be able to start painting your portion of the apartment as soon as possible.
