Build it out and the last thing will be to touch up the polish job and then stain it.You should get multiple bids and let them tell you what they see as your best options.

Use lots of textual keywords if possible.

And since they are sale ready, usually I have great tenants who take care of the properties and when I need to rent it to new tenants, it’s already turn key and just needs a quick clean and some paint touch up and that’s it.

On the other hand cheap engineered wood can scratch more easily although a touch up is easier then laminate.

Some prefer smooth but texture will be your friend if you ever have to patch or touchup paint in the future. 

Contractors like our company would come back and do touch up, fix minor leaks/defects etc... no matter no cheap/expensive the project is. 

They spend some Saturdays and evening fixing some things up and doing some touch ups with paint etc. for a total cost of 2k.The house is now ready to rent and after they save for cap ex, repairs, vacancy and turn over, they plan to make $150 In cash flow each month ($1800 a year / 14k down = a 13% yearly return).The house takes 2 months from purchase, renovation, listing and tenanting.

I would go same color and sheen on walls and ceilings to reduce cost and ease of touch up.

-Purchase Price: $55k (traditional financing with 20% down, plus $4k cash for closing costs and for some curb appeal/touch up work)-Combined rents for both sides: $1125 -I’m factoring 50% for expenses (could be higher, waiting to hear how utilities are handled). -$2754 annual debt service Looks like: Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 27.34 % Cash on Cash Return 28.54 % Return on Equity (ROE) 21.40 % Capitalization Rate 12.27 % Highland Vicinity Duplex is located at Freeway 65 and 25th St (specific cross streets being 25th St and Highland Place).Stats are almost identical to those above, but will be a cash deal (followed by a cash out refi).Appreciate any input! 

I'll be getting in there to put in laminate floor and probably some touch up paint/clean up etc.
