Also, many PadSplit properties have bedrooms that are created via flex walls that wouldn't meet the definition of a bedroom in an appraisal, so many PadSplit owners may think their property is worth a certain a mount based on a bed count that's not valid. 

This has pluses and minuses.If your property is bulletproof such as no framing - cinder block construction, cement floors, gloss white paint slapped on the walls and a cheap window mount AC, then you are in a prime position to make money with S8. 

I'd personally say pulling your water heater out and replacing with a wall mount on demand one, would be worth the cost to have in unit washer dryer if you are staying there or renting it, it would be worth it.its always worth doing the big stuff well and correct even if you are cleaning up after someone, the long term hold always prevails, its just a little frustrating front sometimes, but hang in there!

This is what I would do - install a second thermostat somewhere remote (like the attic since she's second floor) and mount the small remote sensor in the living space.

However the thermostat is mounted  to the wall a few feet from the front door in a highly accessed retail store where the door is constantly opened.

You are at the peak of Mount Stupid right now. 

You can get a decent quality tub without breaking the bank and if you  layout the bathroom where the tub faucet is in the wall you can save some money because floor mounted tub fillers and their rough in are are expensive.

The Beaches, Bays, Parks and some stunning view points like the Cabrillo National Monument or the Mount Soledad Cross.
