Never use hard tile on the floors, they will eventually move & crack. best to use laminate products - the peel & stick tile that is groutable is great, just make sure to use the special grout that is expandable...is in small pre-mixed containers on shelf near the peel-n-stick tiles.

I'm thinking a gray carpet to better mask the dirt and stains. 

If you contact a foundation repair company they have a material that they inject under the concrete that will raise it up even, then you just have a minor cement repair that can be masked with a rough finish on the entire porch.Or remove it and put in a wood porch.

Eliminate the carpet and drapes from your units- install commercial vinyl tile (NOT the cheap-assed peel and stick type!)

Perhaps, I'lll mask them.

I'm leasing a nice place downtown, going back to formal school for a web development degree and have my eyes peeled for slow and steady investments.Cheers!

I know that knockdown is a decent ceiling texture but I noticed "orange peel, egg shell" look is what a lot of the builders use here.

Thanks Jack Bobeck I will definitely be wearing a mask!

Bad yard, bad paint (peeling and cracking), inside is a mess, they had about 9 dogs inside, place stinks from urine and feces.

Keep your eyes peeled.
