In other words, after 2 years of sitting on the sidelines, it's time to Sink or Swim.  

Hey All,Need some recommendations for a good place to pick up Tile/Sinks/Vanities etc. for bathroom remodels in and around Palm Beach county...

Of course, this should include costs of ALL the materials such as tiles, sinks, vanities, doors, tubs, etc as well as labor, and supplies, correct?

Every living unit must have at least one (1) bathroom which includes a flushing toilet, lavatory/sink and a bathtub/shower.

I plan to phone interview them and make my final decision in the coming weeks when we fly out to the house to meet with the top candidates#2  Figure out if I want to do light rehab - paint/carpet vs. medium rehab (old 1997 kitchen that needs new countertop, oven-range, and new sink)#3 Timing.  

Other miscellaneous gripes: multiple doors need replacing, there’s now dampness in the basement, leaky kitchen sink, windows that were painted shut were actually off the track all together and don’t function properly, faulty plumbing, the list goes on.I’ve read a bunch of stories on these forums about first deals being a total dud and homes from hell but as the list keeps growing, I get more and more overwhelmed.

Hoping it is all sinking into our brains.  

I'd like to replace the counter tops as well and maybe put in a farmhouse sink (but I feel like these kind of upgrades aren't essential for a rental.) 

At that time we found the sink cabinet was water damaged and replaced it (still not 100% sure if Tenant, we took the hit on it), sewer line backed up due to roots and had costs associated with jetting & roto-rooting sewer and hot water heater replaced.  

Typically i look for big rehab projects, some that others may think are getting close to being worthy of demolishing and with some code violations. the specific house im looking at is 1,000SF and I anticipate purchasing and sinking about $25k in a basic reno plus misc., having a total 45k invested(an thats with me doing a good portion of the work). good neighborhood, house needs allot of work but is structurally sound, just has no driveway or garage, this is the big negative for owner/occupants in my opinion. with no garage I believe I can rent it for around $680/month minimum and keep it easily occupied constantly.
