Doors and door frames Some windows Ceiling in basement Kitchen and bathroom floors (new tiles or laminate) LOTS of paint, indoor and outdoor All new kitchen appliances Some drywall repairs but nothing extensive Bathroom tile, shower, faucets, vanity All new light fixtures Some vent repairs and new vent covers.

But that number will vary by the quality of the upgrade, vinyl floors or expensive travertine tile, Formica counter tops or granite.

I plan on gutting the whole lower level (quad level house) but it has some kind of tile installed on the concrete floor.

I sold tile and worked as a leasing consultant for a property mgmt. company, learned a lot btw.

For a rental I would be putting in tile in bathrooms and laminate wood in the rest of the house, and no granite.

Either leave it or just update the tile.

I did find this idea when I searched online: Use peel and stick vinyl floor tiles.

Also, the floor had some big cracks and looked bad and this was a home built in 1904 with a brick basement, common for the area which is a hot area of higher priced older homes here, so I had the three walls removed and replaced with new block walls, a drain tile and sump pump system put in and a new floor poured on top.

Floor is porcelain tiled all the way to the walls.

Not necessarily looking for a long term solution (not worth putting in a drain tile given the type of basement it is), just something that can get it dry enough for an extended period to paint the floor.
