If you use peel 'n stick tiles or sheet vinyl, you may get a better look, but ONE wrong move and the floor is trash.A similar trick with carpeting was that rather than the typical beige or brown solid color, we used a carpet with a variegated color and rather long nap.

The 2000.00 You are investing in repairs may be able to buy some paint and carpet which will get dirty as the people live in the home.

It needed a liitle cosmetic work (carpet, paint, appliances, fixtures, repairs, etc.).

Is the carpet/floor in this room good or is it time to upgrade?

I fixed it up pretty nice, pergo floors, 100% new kitchen, new carpets, but nothing overly fancy.

I do have some contacts already- like carpet, tile, landscaping and one the guys that works with me is also a Realtor-- I think I might be ready for my first flip so I have been looking to find a great deal... like you all might know, I am kind of nervous and scared.

The property you has the typical stains on carpet, holes in walls (minor), and tada broken windows (alot).

Personally, I *hate* carpet in rentals... hate cleaning it, double hate replacing it-- so we get rid of it asap in all our units-- ceramic tile if the rents will support it, refinish hardwoods if they're hiding underneath old carpet, sometimes even laminate (not the cheapest stuff... doesn't hold up to water).

I hired out the taping of the drywall (after I hung it), the carpet and the egress windows.

(Except the one large home which needs more work and another one which only needs paint and some carpet.)"
