I agree on the bathtub walls, I do a surround vs tile typically (but again depends on the class of asset)

Helps with the slow season and really gives you an amenity to stand out with on social media and OTA'sI think a hot tub is a great idea but the even better idea is an outdoor bathtub /shower with tankless hot water heater. 1.

I was ordered to remove the unit, which I used as a home office, and the expeditor who handled the project had the order reversed, and the apartment was converted to an office by removing a bathtub, and a stove and refrigerator in the kitchen.

My friends that are doing this aren't what I could consider investors in the sense they're not monitoring the market - they have a good tenant that doesn't bother them so keep the rent the same for years until something bad happens like the bathtub overflows. 

Draining in a bathtub is not code compliant.

Then I am like : should I redo the shower pen and tiles on the wall and bathtub wall?  

The main house is completed and as far as labor, I spent $40,000 on just labor and that includes everything from full gut demo to finishes.We are talking about a 4BD, 3BTH two story 2400 ft.² home with a bonus room.This was a full gut job, replaced…12 Windows (new construction)2 sliding doorsTook out all carpet throughout.Took out this ugly 2” thick tile from half of the downstairs portion.Removed popcorn throughout the entire houseTook one wall downA little framing workReplaced entry door 80” x 92”Drywall patchingSmooth drywall work50 recessed lightingAll electrical neededAll plumbing neededNew cement walkway instead of one walk to the front door I created two steps with two lights in each step.Install kitchen cabinets, excluding countertopInstall all three vanities3 bathtubs with one being a modern standalone tub in the masterAll tile work (bathroom wall & floor, kitchen backsplash)Installing of all hardware, faucets, showerheads, etcInstalled 8 single panel doors with hardwareAdding self-leveler after tearing out that thick tileNew LVP flooring throughout the entire house except bathrooms,all baseboards, trimsPainting the entire house, painting all the doors, painting the outside trim.Reframing the outside balconyReframing the fireplace to install new linear modern electrical fireplaceand they took care of the two trash bins.I mean, completely redone.The only thing that was not included in the $40,000 is landscaping, counter top cut and install and of course the ADU which I’m currently working on now.So my question for my fellow investors and contractors did I pay too much?

PM's handyman goes through the property inspection checklist in between tenants to include checking the drains and caulking in the bathtub.  

We really stretched ourselves thin. we did not perform our own inspections because we were busy raising finances .. and our agent insisted we use the same company who did the initial inspections to “get a report in our name” .. we went for visual inspection with our agent and found the master bathtub was  upside down — they said there was a chip and seller was fixing the tub.

Even in the best scenario you would have spent $1,500-$2,000 to update the smoke detectors and C02 testers, cleaned the carpet, re-glaze the bathtub, update any leaks and light paint and wall repairs.
