Granite Countertop Question

[G Simpson]

I am closing on a shortsale in the next month. I have it under contract for 73%ARV- rehab. The home is 3500sqft total in a nice neighborhood. The original owner never upgraded anything when it was built 4 years ago (not typical of the neighborhood). I have allowed for new flooring,paint etc but I may have overlooked the old school arborite counters in the kitchen (decent shape but tacky). I dont really want to spend 4k-6k on new granite...can I get away with grante tiled countertops while projecting a midscale type rehab (12x12)..costing around 1k.....comments
