I am planning to replace the carpet in the empty unit with tile throughout as my 1st attempt to tenant proof the unit.I have my financing in place as a 30 yr fixed loan requiring either 20%  or 25% down (Non owner occupied).

I've noticed a trend bubbling under the surface of stained concrete floors as opposed to carpet or other flooring materials.

The truth is that this loan is very complex, and is really designed for traditional home owners to purchase a new home and slap some paint and carpet in.

You might want to decide if you will go with carpets or some other type of flooring and start learning about the different styles.

The dog has urinated on the carpet which will require replacement (professional cleaning did not get the stain/odor out) and possible replacement of the subfloor as well.

(carpet cleaning? 

TX) and what you are putting in the home (carpet vs. wooden floor).

Someome burned some holes in carpet in the master bedroom.

We can rent for approximately $1700-$1800, more if we allow pets (we are considering allowing a pet because our carpeting is 9 years old and needs to be replaced soon.
