The bathrooms need toilets, tubs, lights & vanities; the kitchen needs cabinets, countertops and appliances.

It's about 60 years old, in very good condition.....except that it looks like the set from "That 70's Show"...orange counter tops, dark cabinets, green carpet, etc.

Place is a 3/1.5 built in the early 1900's. has updated funace, hot water heater, 100amp panel (looks like a small bit of knob and tube was left in), new carpet downstair.Roof needs to be looked at since their was a leak (seller said it was fixed but I don't think I trust his maintnace guys), some small issues with brickwork I will be getting a estimate on later in the week. figure about $1500 for roof work and flashing fix and another $1500 for the brick work (mostly some re pointing a small area and a couple little things)Now the place needs:New kitchen(small)- tile floor (have the 18'x18' travertine that IO got for a steal), cabinets, countertop, appliances, lights ($6K)New half bath-tile floor, vanity, toilet, lights ($1500)Back stairs re done ($1K~1500)Open stairs to attic and turn in to hatchway and use floor space for closets ($1K~1500)Sub floor repair upstairs (stiffen a bit and fix 1 hole) ($750) Carpet Upstairs (700 sqft) ($1K)Upstairs Bathroom- Tile floor, Tile tub srround, build in tub since it is a corner tub now, toilet, sink, ect ($3K)Paint and some drywall/plaster repair ($4K)Fix 3'x8' second floor deck off Master BR-railing and some clean up ($500)Fence backyard and some landscaping ($3K)Misc $2Kcall it about $27K in rehab to make it nice and well in the top of the comps.I could also do less but was looking at making it shine and moving it quick.I figure I have to get into it at low 60's, Owner owns free and clear.

What would be a good ballpark estimate to put in granite countertops in the kitchen?

Last year I did a landscape project at one property because I have always wanted to do it, and the year before I put in a concrete countertop because I wanted to try a small one before I have one installed in my actual place of residence.Things that don't always make business sense.Nonetheless they do end up differentiating your offerings.So, I noticed a product some time ago called Paint Sensations.

They don't need to install granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, but they want the families occupying their building to be happy.

@J Scott yes thanks that does make sense my problem would be that we have broad range of rehaberrs, we have some that will do all the upgrades including granite countertops and very nice finishings, to the ones that do nothing but cosmetic with very little upgrades, and this is all in the same area, so I guess I need to make an estimate in between the 2 types.

If your going to install countertops go with something that can take a beating.
