so i was hoping to just purchase bulk roles of thicker linoleum in sheets and glue it down to the porous cleaned concrete and install painted real wood or plastic (not mdf) molding around the trim for a finished look.how much would linoleum cost per sq ft and wheres the best place to get it the cheapest around here in LAcounty?

old damage can be hidden with something as simple as a coat of paint.  

I'm not real good at sugar coating so hopefully this doesn't come off worse then it's meant to, but an "investor" without money to play with, little to no experience, working with an FHA loan isn't the most attractive investor client to work with.Someone mentioned finding the top 5 producers in an area, those people aren't gonna want to play either.

So many people on BP sugar coat things to make them sound easy (especially if they are selling something or promoting something), and so many people talk a lot about their wins but you rarely hear of their losses (or all the work that went into the wins).  

The bamboo flooring has been installed in the living room on the first floorThe laundry room/walk-in closet in the first floor unit is painted and just needs the tile installedThe bedroom in the first floor unit is painted and the carpet will be installed on Monday as well.The big undertaking on this floor is the kitchen which the contractor is going to leave until last, the kitchen on the 1st floor will be a complete gut remodel.The front entry way walls have been painted and the first coat of paint put on the steps that go up to the 2nd floor. 

The only good part was the fresh coat of white paint to make the 4"x4" windows make the room seem brighter.  

The solution typically requires removal down to a solid base but I usually end up having to remove old stucco, re-wrap wire and paper after pulling permits, then scratch coat, brown fiat and color coats are applied.
