The quotes and getting is anywhere from 5 to 10,000 from other contractors )  The future tenant offered for first month of rent and security deposit to buy and install the flooring ( vynil water proof)What do you guys think about that? 

I did have a few dollars to pay for some real estate seminars - at 20 years old - the real estate bug bit me good - I couldn't wait to start my journey toward wealth with properties ---- what a surprise - this investing was harder than I thought - it seemed like every seller and their agents were asking way too much for me to make a profit, they wanted proof of funds, credit ratings, money for a down payment and all that stuff.So ---- I started going to public auctions - WOW - I found some bargains, they weren't pretty but they had equity after I fixed the roof, painted, cleaned them up -  buying properties using credit cards, Hard Money and creative financing - I had to be creative since I had very little cash.So fast forward to 2019 my wife and I have almost $12 MM in equity and a nice cash flow --- but it was not easy - now I develop commercial buildings, own a night club at 2022 N.

We don’t need proof where payroll is deposited, we do need tax returns and finds to close need to be deposited by in a US bank 10 days before closing. 

Do you pop the top, build a floor plan you want in the future and then put renter proof flooring, cabinets, paint, appliances, etc in and wait? 

Not only do they hold up better to tenant abuse, but they are more sound-proof and present a "higher-end" feel during showings.
