I have a guy that works way cheaper then he should and does them for about $1300 labor which I know is crazy so I am trying to get a grasp on reality when I start shopping rates again.For a small full bathroom we typically do a complete gut except we keep the tub and reglaze it -  Labor usually consists of ceramic tile shower surround/tile floor - new toilet,light,mirror,towel bar,faucet, shower head - trim and painI know this is region specific but just interested to hear others

Possibly new laminate/tile flooring (currently ceramic tile)Thank you.

The cost difference between removal of cracked ceramic tile and leaving it is $555 so I will probably just remove it. 

Most of the mold ruined their usual work other than the bathrooms since the bathrooms were ceramic tile lol.I think the reason why the bank hasn't gone lower than $200K is because it has two houses and the land alone is worth $108K (according to the tax assessment).

I figure if I can average buying 2-3, do the necessary remodel work (ceramic wood-look floors, white semi-g-gloss walls..basically renter-proof the house) and hold it long term that in 10-15 years I'll be paid off and have great cash flow to retire on.My amateur thoughts are and keep in mind this is my limited guess on the oklahoma marketplace is:buy house 60-80K. invest 0-15K remodeling and simplifying the home.

Install ceramic tile in all areas that have linoleum (bathrooms, kitchen, laundry)?

I appreciate the feedback @JR Nieman , I am currently at $80/sq ft for the basic fixtures, granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, laminate wood, ceramic tile.

Same for ceramic but still figure AT LEAST 10% for edges, more if the areas are chopped up.

I know you didn't have insurance, but this can be a guideline for labor costs.I would recommend the use of 100% ceramic tile for flooring (or maybe even stained concrete) since you are self-insuring.

In Florida, wall-to-wall ceramic tile all the way!
