Just curious, I have bought from Connected Investors in 2017-2019 and was burned badly with their products not working as advertised. 

I would NOT bother with changing to a new laminate top, it will get burns on it anyways.Wait until next year or when tenant changes and find a cheaper one piece cabinet with built in countertop even Ikea has better prices than your PMCheap fixes for now:contact paper to cover that green countertopI know this has an electric stove- change out the trays under the burners with black onesa little valance for the window in geometric green pattern- look up Marimekko and with two yards make it cute

It's a rule of litigation that could burn the unwary. 

And construction/remodel already started....At the same time, literally one door away, 1014 York brand new remodeled by a flipper, is asking $2.4M and still on the market after 25 days...Someone is going to get burned..

My father does not really have anyone and has burned most of his bridges through his action and mental health issues.  

Like @Lee Burns, I used a groupon to find my licensing course for NY!

I burned what should’ve been a 30k profit at the end to leaving 10k in out of pocket by not counting those costs and doing more than I should’ve on the rehab.

.– Don’t spend more than you’re making per deal:This may not apply to everyone but, if you keep burning through your profits just to do a deal that won’t make you any money in the future.

Once you gain some wealth you can afford to get better protection.Nothing will protect you from doing bad things like driving drunk in a company car and hurting and killing someone, or ignoring safety codes and killing folks with carbon monoxide poisoning from a furnace, or burning the house down from ignoring fire codes, but running your business correctly, buying insurance, and using an LLC properly will provide massive amounts of protection from liability. 

@Grayson Spittel Yes for sure I can see the struggle on trying to scale without burning all of my funds!....
