Design Level/Materials Used

I am looking to begin my first flip. This is a single family home that truly just needs light cosmetic work. The home is in a decent neighborhood with middle class families & zoned for good schools. What level of materials should I use for this? The house is on piers, so I would think tile is out for flooring, right? I am considering floating vinyl plank flooring that looks like wood, tile countertops & backsplash, new stainless steel appliances, fresh paint, new fixtures & outlet covers & a standard laminate countertop for the bathroom vanity. Is this too much, or does this sound accurate for this type of neighborhood? Any help is greatly appreciated!
