After the hardwood floor, it will need to be run under the dishwasher and the refrigerator any way. i always run the wood/ tile/ vinyl first then install the carpets - saves on cuts and looks better.

Is there anything unusual that stands out (stain on carpet, torn lino in kitchen, scuff marks on walls or doors, etc.)Personally, I think that your property manager is probably wearing too many hats and falling behind on communication because of the workload.

I then installed carpeting on their floor with the water resilient padding.

Also looking around colleges where there is a steady stream of renters.I'm not looking to put any more in the property than normal wear and tear items, carpet, paint, minor repairs.

I looked into a property being sold by fannie mae (through homeopath.com), the property is in pretty good condition all i would need to do really is remove the carpet and tile and install new tile throughout the house.  

Do you have any spare carpet, or a carpeted area in a inconspicuous area like a closet?

The deposit helps offset the risk of the damage they might do.Some pets can eat/scratch/damage doors and moldings, but the biggest thing I see is destroyed carpet.  

After receiving Mary’s IRA investment from Equity Trust, Bob purchased the house for $100,000, put new carpet in the living room and planted flowers in the front yard.

Pulled all the carpet out and found beautiful 2" oak floors in a bedroom and living room.    

The bedrooms need the carpet removed and the hardwoods redone allong with a fresh coat of pain.Also im wondering if i could put a room in the basement and rent out the three bedrooms.
