Hello BiggerPocket MembersI am looking to renovate one side of my duplex, which is going to be available soon here in North west New Jersey I would need to change the flooring, the kitchen countertop and the shower.I am looking for thoughts and ideas for the following:1) For the flooring - what would be the  better option? 

.😳✅ Total Actives - 13,044, UP 36% year over year✅ New Listings - 6,978, UP 4% year over year✅ Pendings - 4,227, UP 10% year over year✅ Median Days on Market - 13, UP 62% year over year✅ Median Home Price - $599,000 FLAT year over yearAgain, active listings still leads the way with the biggest stat change.

You can always change it later as you get more bookings.The check in time of 4pm is standard for a lot of rentals... how would you feel about changing it to 3pm while you're a new listing to encourage more bookings?

We rarely ever see a double-digit % change in a single month, let alone this scale!

Remote work is here to stay on some level but "changing the game"?

As we move into the summer of 2025, we want to bring you up to speed with key market changes affecting your rental investments in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, and the greater SWFL region.Over the past two years, I have sent several market updates expressing my concerns with the rising inventory of properties for sale and the rise of rental inventory levels.

If your lender waits to tell you that rates went before you could rate lock you'd be mad.

All that means is the next event changed. 

Beware it’s a historic district so you must adhere to making no exterior changes, but I thought the additional approval went whether easy. 

We're going to see insurance rates climb for quite a while.
