The current tenant started lease in March of this year.I had installed new carpet: $1200, new furnace, $2,221, and new water heater: $950 all this year.I plan to have the property for 3 to 5 more years.Thank you in advance for your help, I really appreciate it.

That gives the Seller time to serve tenants with 60 days notice, empty the property and clean it, then deliver it to you vacant.If the state only requires 30 days, shorten your timeline.

I'm not personally a fan of carpet anywhere, but it's not about what I like, it's about what will appeal to the most buyers and get the highest price for the house.

@Greg Lovern It's whatever the parties agree to - and that's specified in the P&S.For a retail SFR buyer, I normally require that the home is delivered vacant and broom clean. 

We jumped on it without contingencies for a clean, fast close. 

Then come year end you take your books to an actual professional and they charge you an extra $500 to clean it all up. 

Hi guys, I just purchased a 2-unit house in Trenton, NJ and looking for a Junk/debris removal company or crew to come out and clean out everything.

I need to replace carpets, looking for recommendations on Carpet installation and quality to look for, and also for Luxury Vinyl Plank.

If the damage is in excess of the $400 I will withhold from the security deposit.I have carpets in the upstairs portion of the house and the dogs and cats are likely to damage those.Her lease only expires next year.

I've looked at a few 30+ unit value-adds in that market that pencil out nicely with minor rehab needed (paint/carpet/appliances/fixtures).
