@Jonathan Mills For countertops, I would personally go with granite.

This growth, driven by factors like retirees, job opportunities, and a desirable climate, increases demand for rental properties.Tourism: Florida is a major tourist destination, with attractions like theme parks, beaches, and cultural events drawing millions of visitors each year.

I also recommend to talk to the contractor in person because there's for us it's a gut feeling if we feel we can trust someGood luck.

Personally my realtor is always on the lookout for great deals for me.

Desire to remote monitor and submit monthly billing to each tenant. 

I have never heard of a program like that - I would be doubtful if it is worth it  - Understand a little about owner's motivation to sell. if a building is on the market for sale by FSBO, by agent or public auction - those sellers listing to sell are motivated - they may try to hide there desire to sell and say things like ''I ain't going to give it away!"

Becoming a part of this community has certainly piqued interest and I look forward to meeting positive people in an environment where we share the common desire to be successful in the Real Estate Industry

So what I'm saying is just loading up your Gatling gun with money and spraying it at the problem may have little effect if the committee is hard-nosed to you personally, alcohol establishments, or just everything in general.

Unit A is about 100 years old and Unit B is almost completely new.Pros:-The duplex is in a very desirable neighborhood with home value appreciation year over year at about 50+%-Rent is also in high demand within this area-Cash flows well even with high interest rates and increasing property taxes-Home is price below average cost per sq ft-The house has been renovated and some parts of it has been remodeledCons:-All issues are with Unit A, the 100 year old unit.

Take advantage of it and have your maintenance person or property manager go and check things out at your property.
