We do not need a commercial building so we are in the works to have it remodeled as a residence, and that will probably cost a penny or two. 

If your life were depending on it, I bet you nickel for penny that you would have time for it.In my case, when I say I'm busy, it means I'm having too much fun.

I've read a few things online talking about skim coating a few layers to even out the wall but what's everyone else take on it?   

Maybe you can stop by there when you're in town to get "100 pounds of yeast and some copper line", as the song says. 

It should not be that big of a job to remove the tile and skim coat the rough parts of the wall that it leaves out.

Most don't like them only because of the nature of the deals they're trying to get...pennies on the dollar or low ball offers.

Then big picture, under fifty bucks or so, I take a few lumps for the larger rent check and long term happy tenant....could be penny wise pound foolish to come down too hard as they may not renew.....if you are the helpful guy who saved the day, they may stay a few years..

As a wholesaler starting with limited capital, I would not spend a penny on advertising until I have a solid buyers list that I feel confident about their seriousness and ability to close with cash.

Not expensive and worth every penny.
