Interior and Exterior Upgrades; Modern Appliances, Tiling, paint, etc...What was the outcome?

Examine similar sales, rental prices, and neighborhood patterns as a whole.It seems sense that you would want to make an offer to gauge interest before trying to work things out in the middle.

I have a 900 sqft condo in Naples FL that needs all new bathroom, new kitchen cabinets, new tile flooring throughout, and paint.

It looks like the same pattern is happening now with rates.

Very few contractors carry professsional liability/errors and ommissions coverage which is what MAY be beneficial given your fact pattern.

There's no predictable pattern to the increases, unlike CA with 2% max property tax increase.

I would also replace the old sewer lateral out to the street, which is made from clay tile.

remodeled basement - kitchenette, walk-in closet, floor to ceiling tiled walk in shower, built in storage What was the outcome?

This is potential schizophrenia pattern.

If you did the rest of the house I would probably just do the tile at least.
