Example is the vinyl plank is for 2 units that are occupied right now with tenants, units are all carpet and I am planning ahead for when they eventually move out. 

Part of me says that I would ask him to cover Decembers rent, the professional cleaning and a portion of the carpet.

Tuesday I removed carpet, tile and kitchen cabinets.

Don't forget to remind her there are expenses (taxes, insurance, repairs - new carpet etc) and vacancies so rents can't equal the payment.

So I do not want to put carpet in as the floors will be much harder to clean. 

Plan is to rent 2 unfurnished/6 mo leases + 2 furnished short term/AirBNB.My house just closed last week and now I'm in the process of fixing it up cosmetically (drywalling over old 50's ceiling tile, ripping up old carpet + refinishing the hardwood underneath, painting, new floors everywhere that doesn't have hardwood).

Sub2 and LOs are best for pretty houses with low equity I have found.You are close with your descriptions of seller financing and lease options, but close only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades and stretching carpet.  

Regardless of the rent, I still need to account for a low end kitchen, bathrooms, carpet / flooring, paint, as well as some amount for shared items like tuckpointing and the roof.

Finally after giving names and ids (they didn’t get arrested because of that silly receipt they had) down comes the baby boy about 4 years old woken up from his sleep on my carpet with Sleepy eyes looking all confused and my heart broke.

I was hoping to get some other landlords and property owners opinions on some things below to help me better understand the expectations within the rental market.The general thought that I have had while looking for my first property is to invest initially in hardening the property (no carpet, etc).I'll share a few scenarios and would love if any one can shed some light on their opinions:- Property has a bright blue insert bath tub.
