With a manufactured home, for flip purposes, would you go with laminate or hard wood? 

Also leading to the master bathroom remodel and new hardwood floors!

To start, the numbers:3 bedroom, 1.5 bath 1700 sq foot brick SFH with bonus room.Purchase Price: $59kAppraisal: $105k as is with estimated $124k after rehab.Renovation budget: $20k.Renovations include: new flooring in bonus room, kitchen and baths. total renovation of bathrooms, new cabinets, crown molding (to cover bad drywall job by previous owner), buff hard woods, paint exterior, paint interior, remove awning, remove side door and seal up, fix low spot in kitchen floor, and remove the non-permitted fire place.Estimated Rent: Initially I budgeted $950 per month based on another rental I own in a similar location, but  two houses on the same block were recently rented for $1200+.

Paint the trim white, walls light grey, replace the tile, refinish hardwood espresso.

How much are you willing to spend on new carpet, window seals, new hardwood, dry wall to avoid replacing the forced air system?

. $3500-5000New hardwood flooring with stain - $10 per sq ft.

By no means should you scrimp and cut corners, but maybe granite countertops and hardwood floors dont fit with the price range you can get at your location.Personally, I dont like dealing with people all that much so I use property management companies to interface with the tenants.
