Flooring likely needs to be replaced (tile).3.)

The floors are OK, but obviously just cheap laminate, basic white tile, and carpet.

They had four small dogs and they ruined the carpet (hence the 100% replacement), but the rest of the house is concrete and tile....which shouldn't really absorb odor.Do you guys wash the walls or ceilings?

@Ron Steele  personally I prefer tile.

I plan on staining the kitchen cabinets, adding draw pulls, and laying down new tile.

One of my first tenants, even though it was clearly in the lease that repairs or changes are not allowed without written permission from me, put down those old tacky peel and stick kitchen tiles in a bright blue over my brand new neutral flooring, changed out the dining room light fixture, and painted the house in horrible dark colors.  

If it's items that Fannie Mae or Freddie mac or the FHA require like double straps on a water heater and running water and co 2 detectors and something covering the floors ( carpet or tile ) then it's a must if you want buyers who have to get regular conventional financing. 

Being new and not knowing the Madison market well, I could use the guidance.It seems to me that being a 1/1 duplex, if I ever needed/wanted to sell, I might have a very hard time.What I do know (And this is off the rental flyer that was passed on to me):Rent: 865/mo/unitUpdated/Clean Property - from the pictures it looks newly renovated or well kept.Large living roomhardwood floors throughout, ceramic in kitchen.Off street parkingNeighborhood Park NearbyLocation: Near East High SchoolAgain, I haven't talked numbers whatsoever since time didn't permit, but before I call to get more info, I'd like to get a good idea of an exit strategy.

Unless its something big (lumber) or heavy (tile) or I need it right away Prime is often the cheapest alternative. 

If I'm gutting a house to the studs and fixing plumbing, electric, then new drywall, cabinets, tubs, shower, tile, flooring etc it costs me around $25 sq ft.
