What to include in rehab houses?
I plan to rehab many and am trying to streamline the process. Questions:
1. Where should I put carpet and where should I put tile?
2. What appliances should it include?
3. What are standard colors of interior and exterior paint that will appeal to the majority of buyers?

Can't you just name three colors for the inside and three for the outside?
And did you say YES to carpets in flip bedrooms or NO?
You're looking for answers that we can't give you. I recommended another thread that you visit a hundred houses that would be your competition. This will give you an idea of what you need in your houses in order to compete at that price point and with those buyers.
You just don't seem to want to do any work. You just want people to tell you exactly what to do. Sorry, it doesn't work that way... If you're not willing to put in the work there's just no way you're going to be successful in this business.
