Repairing a rental condo after fire damage
The good news about real estate is that it's never a dull moment. I have four tenants in a 4 bedroom condo. The boyfriend of one of the tenants started a grease fire cooking burgers, and tried to douse it with water in the sink. You know the next chapter in this story...sprinklers went off, etc. It's a 3rd story condo. I'm thinking about laminate flooring for everything but the four bedrooms, and then doing low-grade carpet in the bedrooms. The tenants are college students primarily, and the turnover is annual. (As a side note, the boyfriend totaled the tenant's car the day after he started the fire)....anyway, I'm looking for tips no the reno. Thanks in advance.
