Everything was completed renovated top-to-bottom, but the real kicker was creating a brand identity around the property known as "Bungalou".

I do have several equipment and materials to make it as painless as possible (shopvac, floor to ceiling "tarping" (not sure what they are called, the plastic things you can use to seal the areas off to mitigate dust) and blowers to blow the dusty air out of the window at the top of the stairs during the demo.Tony, those are good prices to know for South Florida since I am planning on acquiring properties in that area in a few years.  

Gathering a few quotes has you did for identical scope of work is the best way to assess whether pricing is fair.  

Keep in mind everyone is on their own journey, and not equipped with the same set of "tools".  

for example when I owned my mobile mechanics business I would regularly "overquote" on my estimated time for repair on a customers piece of equipment.

We hired a pro water remediation company and asked them to remove dry wall, base boards, carpet, and drop fans, dehumidifier equipment, as well as apply any anti-microbial disinfectant, etc.

Home is not equipped with heating system 5.

Consider allowing pets with an additional fee (either one-time fee or pet rent, whichever is the local custom).Another idea you might try is to put up another ad, identical in all ways, but put it as a 2BR with office AND den (or something similar).  

If you have millions of interconnected homes and vehicles - all of which are equipped with sensors now - in combination with utility scale facilities, you massively reduce grid vulnerability.

I appreciate your input Brandon, but it appears that d(1) contradicts your first point:"Except as provided in § 1.162-3 (relating to materials and supplies) and in § 1.263(a)-1(f) (providing a de minimis safe harbor election), a taxpayer must capitalize amounts paid to acquire or produce a unit of real or personal property (as determined under § 1.263(a)-3(e)), including leasehold improvements, land and land improvements, buildings, machinery and equipment, and furniture and fixtures."
