New paint, flooring, etc. 7 months.

Gulf front, 6th floor (so your views are over the tops of the palm trees) master bedroom with a king to sleep and an ensuite, two other queens, another bath and full kitchen.You might consider this a hybrid investment with nice returns and vacation benefits.

The only time I spent > 5k on a turnover was an eviction where the guy had trashed the place and used really dark paint all over the place, and his cat had peed everywhere so I had to refinish the floors.

Need drywall to be finished, floor to be put in.

I am looking into a 2 story duplex now in Lake Worth. 2/1 on top and bottom floor.

I'm not sure where you are seeing J-Tree occupancy dropping through the floor in the summer, but I know owners that are PACKED throughout the summer. 

(They are on the second floor as it is a 2 story building)I have had two roofers go out to take a look at the roof so far, one of which tarped the roof.I am little nervous about this roof issue as I have not dealt with my own personal roofing issues of yet, but have for other properties where the owners had to make an insurance claim to cover the 10-30K expense.

It wasn't until 5 months later that they then suggested redoing the scratched up floors, something that they should have suggested in the beginning of the vacancy.I fired them and hired a new management company who finally did rent ready work and the place was rented out within a month. 

Through the last few projects I have found a great plumber, electrician, drywall crew, and a roofing/siding contractor (Happy to provide referrals) but I haven't been able to find the right person(s) to frame walls, install flooring, hang interior doors and trim, do kitchen installs, etc..

Renovations include a new roof and new flooring.
