Depends on where you are in LA, yes, there are meetups all over. 

it is looking like I may have to tile the bathtub as well. 

The work that remains is as Follows:Drywall, Paint, Rehang doors with new Knobs and hinges, Master Shower tile, 2000 Sq feet of hardwood installed, 600 Fq ft of carpet installed, Install Kitchen cabinets and tops, Install vanities, plumbing finishes, electrical finishes, prose wash and re stain the deck and newly built railings. 

They actually came out and were ready to complete the work but didn’t go through with it since we both agreed my tile might crack.

I'm just starting to lay the groundwork for my real estate investing career.

HiI am considering rehabbing and renting my apartment,it has wooden flooring what seems to me like something of spurious quality it's about 1100sq ft,there is also damaged floor due to water in the past in one of the roomsI am considering replacing the floor with luxury vinyl tile and currently researching on best possible options.Before I install lvt I would like to know if it makes sense to rip off the existing floor and install lvt on top of the subfloor?

This will help you get a better idea of what tile, hardwood, carpet, plumbing fixtures and light fixtures costs for your rehabs.#3 Contact Local Contractors for PricingCall local Subcontractors and get budget pricing for common repairs on your typical rehab project.For example, call a roofer and ask what their average cost per Square of Architectural Asphalt Shingle Roofing would be on a 1,500 sf house, with a 6/12 pitch.Note: Some contractors will be reluctant to share pricing without seeing the property, but tell them you are just looking for a rough budget number you can use on future projects.#4 Compile Your Prices into a Spreadsheet or Estimating SoftwareOnce you start to get a better understanding of Labor and Material costs you will want to store this data into a spreadsheet or software that you can use to help you streamline the estimating process.The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs comes with a spreadsheet that you can use to help you populate your own database of labor pricing and material pricing.

Most will lay out a strategy for you in a consultation that you can keep and refer to, also.

We decided to do minimal renovations (interior paint, trim, backsplash in kitchen, tile floor in kitchen, $7K in total) and sell.

For Quarterly taxes you are supposed to send in taxes on your revenue each quarter to the government since this is a "pay as you go" system or basically so they don't lay a penalty on top of the regular tax.
