Basic Updates Vs. Full Upgrades
Understanding that some owners may want to choose to update with only the basics we have been working with property management to determine a list of the minimum updates necessary.  With that, our letter that was sent included estimated pricing for the basic updates.  The pricing is based on meeting minimum participation by the majority of the owners so that we can receive quantity discounts for furniture, installation, etc.  Final sales tax, freight and installation are additional.  Any additional items that are not in the basics below will be in addition to our estimated pricing provided in our letter.
