New gas flex line if it's gas and not plumbed directly, *maybe* a few feet of new cable for an electric (but often you can reuse the old cable).If you want to add a drain pan, price that out at the big-box store too - maybe $20 for the pan and $10 for some PVC drain pipe. 

I would think that's going from frying pan to fire.

@Allan Pan, I think the biggest thing with STRs now is: they are no longer "buy it and they will come".  

In Venice, my old rental just came on the market..It was previously $4500/month and asking $6500. lol Coastal California in particular (or anywhere on the Pacific Ocean - including Mexico) has become increasingly unattainable for most investors or retirees.

People who go to Mexico and have money can choose where they go and they go mostly to the Pacific side.

Did you have a Federal Pacific box? 

Let time and leverage dictate that for the houses return, you are getting deeper on that asset when no one knows how it's going to pan out. 

Now there are certain climates/areas of the world that absolutely 3d printing can make a huge difference.The other one that i have been watching is companies like boxabl, who can make tiny homes and are looking to further advance modular homes - I am curious how that will pan out - last I read they were being investigated by the SEC

Hi @Robert Hasty, I wanted to check in and see how things panned out over the last year.

This is not my forever home.Do you have have renovation ideas/items I should I implement to save $ or headaches in the long run with tenants.For example- a recessed dryer vent so the dryer can flush to the wall,- drain pan- a hybrid heat pump water heater to save $ in the long run.- smurf tubing- sound proofing between the roomsWhat items do you wish you install that is causing headaches?
