Carpet is something that with the right guy (hint, he won't have a fancy retail store) can be cheaper installed than if you do it yourself.I've done a couple of dozen roofs too!

You can spot a vacant house from two blocks awayYou have business cards of 114 painters and 345 carpet guysYou yourself have 4 different business cards!

The Work Write-up does not need to reflect the color or specific model numbers of appliances, bathroom fixtures, carpeting, etc., unless they are nonstandard units.

That being said if I have a tenant that I don't care for their house keeping skills (or some other issue) I'll raise their rent a bit more to try and push them out (and also to offset having to replace carpets and other things if they stay).

Property requires 25K worth of cosmetic repairs...carpeting, painting, etc.I want to purchase the property w/ no money out of pocket or minimum money out of pocket.

I figure that I would definitely tear out all the carpet flooring and base trim.

Depends on the condition of the carpet when you moved in, but if you were my tenant, by the sound of it you'd be buying new carpet.

I just looked at a fourplex in the war zone that I passed on giving $2,000 for. 3 of the units needed complete overhauls and 1 unit needed paint and carpet.

I have seen the house a few times and have recently had two contractors give me estimates on finishing the house (heating, plumbing, paint, carpet, cabinets, fixtures, etc, etc).

I found something the other day and will be doing a tour of it tomorrow.4 Family $150Kit has 2 tenants currently paying $875 each and I think it needs a new roof, carpets and paint.Taxes are $6,775 per yearI think it could make $4000 a month easy with the other two apartments rented and the rent adjusted to the market.Does this seem like a good deal?
