Just checking in because I’m in the very beginning phase of building my investment portfolio in the Tampa, St Petersburg, Clearwater area...and I need to develop a network of reliable contractors, GMs, plumbers, electricians, tile/flooring guys, etc. who can help with rehabbing my first property. 

I'll let you know what he says then I'll reach out to you and Kayla once I get the lay of the land.

Determine exactly what you want from a property manager, lay it out clearly, have them give you feed back and then decide if you want to hire them or not.

I do plan to add a tile system in a year or so but it didn't make the budget this year.My question is, id like to disclose this somehow to the tenant and explain to them that it is not considered living space, and that they should use it at their own risk. 

Cracks or digs in the floor , tile grout works well . 

You will need to replace the shower mixing valve, also plumbing codes require a 2” drain line with a shower only and your tub probably has a 1-1/2” drain line.Depending on what you are going for and what the area demand is a nice tiled shower with glass doors would make a small space seem larger.

I would also explore the most amount section 8 will pay given the current lay out of apartment. 

Example: a floor is in good shape(no need to be replaced) but you want to upgrade to a better tile.

To ceramic tiling of an entire home.

Also the same with the plumbers & tile guys amongst other things.
