I really liked finding the probate houses there, which often have great structure and outdated paint/carpet.  

Assets identified in this study include:Kitchen Appliances: Refrigerator, microwave, garbage disposal, range hood and dishwasherLaundry Appliances: washer and dryerElectrical and communication systems: Specialized equipmentCustom Cabinetry, Countertops and shelvingInterior Finishes: wood flooring, carpet, and decorative light fixtures.61.64% of the total depreciable basis was classified as 27.5-year class life.

Use wood, tile, or carpet. 

Like, take that waterfront property priced low just because of an outdated kitchen or a carpet issue—easy fixes with big potential.

When I used to be a tenant, my landlord had it in the lease that at the end of the lease for move out, the tenant has to hire a professional to clean the gutter, clean the fireplace, clean the carpet, etc.

We plan to remove the carpet next year and install LVF to increase property's value and potentially bump the rent. 

The exterior was painted when we bought it, we refinished the floors, added carpet, new paint inside, refinished the kitchen cabinets, replaced a couple windows and did some minor plumbing work inside (along with getting rid of TONS of junk throughout the inside and outside of the home!)

Hell, having laminate is better than having carpet carpet imo (assuming good quality of course).

You should really have hard floors instead of carpet but if the carpet has a few years left you can change them with the tenant moves out.

It's too messy.
