Hey BP, we’re renters in a large MF.  200 units plus.  

I plan on living with my parents for the next 3-4 years while aggressively investing the vast majority of my post-tax income.I've always been interested in real estate and think that it could play a large role in my portfolio.

- remove existing tile - remove drywall in surround and window area to the ceiling - replace drywall with hardibacker redgard hardibacker large porcelain tiles (16x16, 12x24) with smallest grout spacing possible- highest quality caulk that is mildew-resistant - tile floors, 4" base/behind/beside toilet, in addition to tub surround all the way to ceiling - angle tiles away from block window - re-install shower curtain rod  - replace fan/light with higher-performance model with humidity sensor - inspect fan ventiliation to confirm vent going through ceiling - inspect bath, sink, toilet plumbing and waste drainpipes - add quarter turn water shut-off valve - replace bath fixtures to single stem handle - replace bath drain with grid drain

The third party leasing companies are able to leverage economies of scale/ bulk buying power on equipment / vertical integration to drive costs down such that they can install solar cheaply enough that they will be making money on the system very quickly if not immediately (by selling the tax credits to banks/investors/tax equity funds and by selling energy back to the grid at a premium) .
