We've had a luck of success with buying at $125,000, putting $25,000 in (electrical panel, paint, kitchen remodel, full bath remodel, refinished floors, etc), and financing back out at 80% LTC.

There are also area's of hardwood which look a little worn.Are there cheaper options to protect these floors and make them look nicer without a total refinish?

I also now know how to refinish floors, paint, hang gutters, etc.

I am nervous with the winter coming, I have ordered refinishing of the floors and a new stove for the 3br/1 bath sing family.

I know my material costs....so my cabinets will cost around $3000, my granite/backsplash/sink will cost around $2000, refinished floors will cost around $1500, appliances $2000, new floors through will cost around $4000, carpet will cost around $1500, interior doors around $50 a door, exterior doors around $200, windows around $160, etc, etc, etc,.

I have a rental available and the prospective tenant at a showing asked to repaint all the walls and stain the floors....mind you I just pained the whole property and paid several thousand to refinish the hard wood.

We have refinished hardwoods.

The PM charged us a little over 7k to do a basic paint/floor refinishing apartment turn.

The floor refinisher needed a week to do his work, and another week to plan his arrival. 

If the hardwood in the kitchen can be refinished then refinish it.
