Sorta idiot proof.same way with bath and kitch floors cept use light sand color in a 12 bye 12 size.

If they are clean I can return half of the money then once they have provided me with receipts showing the utilities are paid in full and I have the house is repaired I can return what is left.I have had good success removing organic stains with Oxyclean that some carpet cleaning companies did not get out, it seems to make even red wine disappear and lose its color.

They could be afraid that you or one of the other tenants could be nuts and not show the true colors until after they move in.

In conclusion the psychology of someone picking up the phone to call you out of their own interest is a very powerful thing.  

All too often I've seen investors --especially, but not always, beginners-- read the numbers through rose colored glasses, whether those numbers are in a detailed pro forma or scribbled on the back of a cocktail napkin.

Do you pick out the flooring first and then base your paint colors, cabinet style, etc. around that?

That process is very simple and can cut your cost from ~3500 (1200 sf) to little over 600.Changing fixtures in the kitchen and baths can boost appeal as well.Finally, of course a fresh coat of paint on the walls that are a good neutral color.

It's not going to say to put in granite countertops or to paint with a particular color scheme.You need to create your own SOW. 

 $107 isn't that much money unless you don't have $107.I plan to write everything in red pen and I almost failed penmanship growing up - so my writing isn't too good.Envelope:My Home Return address - I have some return address stickers laying around I plan to use.Write their address in red pen.What color envelope?  

. : I would never give the tenant the flooring of their choice, unless their choice just happened to coincide with what I chose to put in the unit (kind of like Henry Ford's "any color so long as it's black").
