Does it need rehab work on the existing structure?

Personally, I would budget at least $3500 for separate service, and that assumes the existing service is all up to code.Lastly, are you sure about the rent numbers? 

We'd like to attract new or existing vacation rental owners to our program.

Taking out the equity ( Not ALL, But a good amount) to put towards other properties and some rehab on the existing ones.
