I am remodeling a condo bathroom and want to know: Is there is any way to have consistent hot water?

The building is old (built 1903) and the water occasionally gets scalding hot in the shower if a neighbor uses water (eg- flushes a toilet) regardless of my shower settings. I am considering a remodel of the bathroom and was wondering if there is any way to correct for this so the water temperature is consistent irregardless of what others in the building are doing. Is this possible?

Is it in my best interest to remodel my condo, I am not sure what to do?

I have a condo in southern California, I could sell it for about $400,000 as it is 1650 square feet, 3bd/2.5 ba and has a yard and 2 car garage. It is pretty much a single family home, only it does not have a front yard and it has a condo ownership.

It is not attached to any other condos and looks like a regular home.

I want to do some light remodeling like a new kitchen, update the bathrooms, and replace the doors and tear down a wall. I have already done a few home improvements like a new patio, new vinyl windows and new paint, appliances and carpet.

My whole project will cost about $33,000 including labor and materials.

My wife and I plan to stay in the house since we have paid it off and it is in a good location in California.

Is $33,000 too much to invest in my condo? I could get 400k now and its not looking so hot. My reason for the updates is not for resell but to make our home more custom so we stay happy where we are.
