Also, white granite countertops and wall tiles in the bath/shower. 

Hired out repiping and tile the kitchen/dining room, while we slept in the garage.

The current tenant says they have gotten the problem fixed but all that is required is some tile work and installing the new toilet. 

so far, I line up, realstate/wholesaler/one recommended PM/ 2 contractors that work on flipping for other investors/ a few local millwork vendors / tile company and i also set up a meeting with the housing authority for the section 8 program4.

But I would recommend luxury vinyl plank (SPC - stone composite) with a high wear layer, or wood look ceramic tile.

Full guts of the bathrooms, replacing all fixtures, throwing modern tile finishes for the tub/shower, new vanity, new cabinets in the kitchen, island, new stainless-steel appliances, new flooring throughout, new recess lighting, and likely new siding on the property to give it a more freshened pop for when it goes back on the market.

That window well should have a drain in it going to the exterior drain tile , which then goes to the sump pump . 

I had a guest's kid break a bunch of ceramic coasters.

Plus the house had an industrial tile drop ceiling - weird.

Drain tile (which is basically a black pipe with holes in it) should be installed around the outside of the foundation and go in under the basement floor to the sump.
