Hey BiggerPockets!

So I'm renovating my first apartment, and I decided to go with white walls and black cabinets for the kitchen. I initially planned to install grey vinyl flooring, but my countertops are yellowish, and I might not replace them. I'm now thinking of installing some natural wood vinyl flooring with bronze handles. I am not used to interior coordinating, so please let me know if there's a better way. 

P.S. This is my first reno, so my budget isn't the largest.

What type of RE investing are you interested in?

Would you recommend self-leveling on top of the floor or mud jacking? Which would stretch my money in the long run?

What if the floor slopes downward from one end to the other even after the piers? Would you recommend floor leveling compound or subfloor adjustments?

Hi Biggerpocket Community,

I've been a fan for a while and I finally started investing in real estate. I'm currently closing on a fourplex but in one of the bottom units, the bathroom and kitchen slopes down, and the tiles in the kitchen are cracked. The owner installed push piers because the foundation had settling issues but the tenant wasn't there when the push piers were installed and she said she got the unit that way. They only installed the piers on one side of the property. There cracks on a lot of the walls but they're supposedly pre-push piers. They did multiple tests for the previous buyer that said the foundation is ok. Aren't the piers supposed to re-level everything? If not should I apply self-leveling on the floor or redo the subfloor?
