Plus the light fixtures need to be moved and you need to fire caulk and paint.$1 a square foot to drywall$1 a square foot to paint.That is $2400How did they get from $2400 to $25,000.I spoke to York City the other day and to apply for the Variance to change the zoning for a property was $500 and a 2 month process and it was not a guaranteed change.Although I doubt a Doc was living in the city.I have rooms In rent and they rent in hours. 

Apartments- New kitchen layout, moved laundry into each unit, updated bathrooms, new windows (curb appeal), updated paint and flooring, turned the laundry room into the 12 unit.AirBNB- changed usage on the main level from office to 2 unit AirBNB.Office building- removed drop ceilings to add 3 foot ceiling height to make the space seem larger with more natural light.

@Keleisha Carter I think you are a little light on the your expenses.

Bare light bulb fixtures? 

Pay attention to things like light gaps around doors, the framing of the door itself (pop trim off and spray foam or similar) and all that jazz.

No lights, running water etc.

They can go to the pro desk and call you and you can do text to pay or pay w/ a credit card over the phone.

The owner will always handle the common area lighting and that is the reason there is an additional meter on the property.

Lastly, pro tip: if you get enough flooring, you can go to the pro desk (or the guy/gal in flooring) at Home Depot and try to negotiate a discount - especially if you're buying enough that they have to place an order.

I am referring to solutions like Alexa and Google home along with the home control lighting and other controls aling with other home health technology like GrandCare to assist seniors to Age In Place.
