Also you get warranties, the house is going to be more energy efficient reducing the utilities for the remnant. 

Maybe your energy costs are substantially different.For each unit to feed electrical, you'll have the cost of copper (usually 30A - 40A wire at minimum) to feed a disconnect, and then the cost of the disconnect, and of course the labor.With economies of scale I'd think you're a little high, however this totally depends on your application. 

If I needed a higher-end look, or had money to burn, I would replace them with finish-grade stairs.You gave up on sanding pretty quick there my friend.

The motel was partially burned down, and 3 of the 4 houses have been broken into by vagrants.

I think  that if there is base board heat that it would potentially be too high of energy cost for tenants to pay and retain.

@Caleb Heimsoth - Either we both got burned or that is the going price. 

I suggest taking time to sit down and write out what you want to do, how much time, money, and energy you have available to commit, and where you want to be 5, 10, 15, 20 years from now. 

It could be just $2, but you have to apply the same amount of time and energy as if you chase the full rent amount.

To the rest they are wasting time, money and energy.

The new tenant likes to burn sage incense.
