Included demo and buying and installing 2 pre-hung metal doors - one with a half window and one just plain white (included door, framing, bottom threshold, hinges, basic knobs and locks).

Upon purchasing, it seemed great that the tenants had their own utility bills and the rents were at the bottom end of market.  

Perhaps it could also be that your marketing is better geared for the demographic of CL users than it is for the demographic of the other sites, but as long as it is working for you I see no reason to change.When I said "almost" exclusively, Craigslist was the exception that I had in mind and even mentioned it by name towards the bottom of my post.

Bottom line is that ends up close to the same cost of new construction - somewhere between $120-$160/SF usually, depending on finishes.  

Can someone please clarify and help me get to the bottom of this?

I can't imagine a plaintiff's lawyer that would want to take some nickle and dime property damage claim, other than some bottom of the barrel schlock.

The agent told me that part of it was renovated and won't require much work but the other half had a small fire and some water damage from the sprinklers so I'm guessing it's a gut job on that side (two 3-story row homes next to each other but sharing the bottom floor retail space).

I have some clients with $1M and others with $10M+.If a tenants guests falls on your entrance steps and becomes paralized, you can bet your bottom dollar $1M isn't going too far.I feel better myself knowing I get $5M for about $3,600 a year ($300/month).

Bottom line, if you plan on doing a lot of the work yourself you need to be as productive and efficient as possible.  

Absolutely, but you have your terminology a bit mixed up, but any agent can help you get to the bottom of that.
