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!

Is it an A, B, or C neighborhood? What do the other remodels look like? If other flips are putting in higher-end materials, you may want to fall in line with that in order to sell near the top of the market. Laminate or LVP isn't as expensive as tile and can look just as nice.
