Rehabbed 1 unit at the apartment     We installed new fixtures, painted from the ceiling down, refinished the flooring (hardwood), new toilet, and new doors.  6.  

Just suck it up and refinish them or remove and put the laminate to have same floor type everywhere?

This included a new roof, windows, siding, refinishing floors, installing carpet, framing out a new bedroom (2 bedroom to 3 bedroom conversion), new cabinets, countertops, converting from well water to city water, new furnace and AC, and many other improvements.

Then you could look for a safer house with a mother-in-law that you could rent out to help pay the mortgage, you could find a house that needs to refinish a basement and rent that out.

New kitchen counters, new bathroom fixtures, refinished hardwoods, and redesigned backyard.

Major kitchen renovation - took down 2 walls and completely changed the layout/opened it to other areasMaster bathroom - enlarged shower and complete gut, changed location of toilet to add space in master bath2nd bathroom - new floor, cabinet, fixtures, refinished wall tile for new looklaundry room - finished the walls and added floor tilePaint inside and outNew trim and door hardwareWhat was the outcome?

So I had to find a method of refinishing countertops without removing the sink. 

Purchase price: $580,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $781,102My managing broker purchased this property from an owner who was upside down in the house, I remodeled the entire main floor including building a brand new kitchen, moved the laundry room from an odd location behind the kitchen to its own room in the basement, hired contractors to fixed stucco work, paint the entire interior and sand and refinish all the hardwood floors.

Refinished the hardwoods.

Just to refinish your looking at 4000.Don't go forward w/o other estimates.
