Laminate flooring in main areas with carpet in the bedrooms. 4 bedroom, 2 full baths, and the basement will have a full bath roughed in as well as a wet bar rough in. 1 egress window in the basement for a future bedroom.

Assuming you have 3,000 sqft just paint and carpet can cost you 25k or more.

they said around 90% of market value.I tried to get them to understand that this property needs a LOT of work, almost a full gut, some holes in walls (small) old carpet needs to be ripped up, i mean like the works on this thing, you can prob get away with touching up the kitchen since its real hardwood and the bathrooms as well but this prop needs at least 80k.Found out owner actually owes 140k on property, and zillow is zestimating it to be 127k.

Not that I don’t enjoy dealing with tenants, maintenance, lawn care, Home Depot and Lowe’s trips and tenant change overs (I recently put new carpets, kitchen floor, appliances, vanity and mirror in the bathroom and fresh paint in my upstairs unit).

They knew a dog lived there when they rented it and they rented anyway, knowing they had allergies and chronic asthma they rented a home with carpet. 

But it gives you a chance to get a fresh start....make your place nicer, replace appliances, new paint, get rid of carpet and replace with LVP, Etc....

A fresh coat of paint can do wonders along with cleaning the carpet or using something like rejuvenate on laminate floors.

I recently paid someone to do my roof and replace the carpet (~5k expense) on my short term rental in 2023, however he won't fill out the 1099-NEC.

My landlord insurance will have to cover the costs of fixing the interior like replacing carpet, interior painting etc.

If so, no need for the red carpet or engagement photos, just focus on what they really care about: a great property, immaculately clean, and a seamless guest experience.It feels like you’re trying to cater to anyone and everyone, which can dilute your overall appeal.As for the garage games, many guests might actually prefer parking in the garage.
