The Torrance home is priced lower than the Hawthorne home due to the fact that it is on a corner with one side of it being a busy street.Torrance home has some decent upgrades (roof, ac, electrical panels, flooring, and cheap bathroom/cabinet upgrades).

Tenants I just evicted completely maliciously destroyed my house from taking kitchen cabinet doors, shower door, lighting fixtures. fridge, broke windows and more but the worst was writing in permenant marker vulgar and threatening messages using my name on both the inside and outside walls.

We updated all of the appliances, added more kitchen cabinets and countertop space, and gave it some new paint.

My competition are all the New Homes and the ones that were gutted to install new windows, doors, cabinets, marble counters, sheet rock, etc.

For example, all flooring, painting, cabinets and so on can be worked on while the permit is being processed.

Hmm 1200 sqft is a pretty big condo on the beach.As I am currently doing a remodel myself I'll give you my take:Demolition and Disposal - 500 - 1500ripping and diposing out of old carpetripping and disposing of old kitchen cabinets & fixturesripping and disposing of old bathroom fixturesripping and disposing of old baseboardsInstalling tile for 1320 sqft (1200 + 120) (10% for overage) - 5K (assume 4 per/sqft for install labor only)Kitchen Remodel (varies how many cabinets or if changing kitchen layout  etc) - 4K in labor especially in upscale high riseBathroom remodel (varies on layout and type of fixtures or changes to wetwork) - 2K in laboYeah so altogether you might see yourself spending 13K in labor not counting supplies, tile, fixtures, appliances, and cabinetry, countertops etc.Hope that helpsJason

Namely, 2.5k bathroom, 1.25/sqft paint, 2.25/sqft flooring, 1200 kitchen with good cabinets.

There are really only 2 things you can do to get more bookings - upgrade/add more amenities (more games, bigger smart TVs, add a game console, etc)  If you have an arcade cabinet and a hot tub only then you are average just like every other 1 bedroom cabin.  

I have remodeled both bathrooms and did a small remodel on the kitchen - cabinet refacing and slate tile floor.

Doors, hardwood floors, titles, tools, windows, appliances, kitchen cabinets, counter tops, and much more.
