On this one I did do some of the work, the insulation, repairing & replacing damaged hardwood flooring and some of the trim!

Hardwood floors are expensive and require periodic maintenance.

@Sam Wilson is from Indy and owned a hardwood flooring company in Carmel.  

Probably Hardwood Pulpwood regrowth at best.

asking 109,900 Single Family built in the early 1900's, 1742 Sq feet farmhouse 1.75 acres on a beautiful groomed (flat) lot.Listed as 3 bed (4th possible)1 bath (small, remodel)Large 2 car garage (no reno needed)car portWalk In Basement-ConcreteAcross from CemeteryOn a Main Rd.My assessment:small eat-in kitchen 7x13(full remodel)L.R. 9x12 (Carpet and paint)Hallway 12'(Carpet, remove paneling, paint)Office 6x9 (refinish Hardwood, paint, remove paneling)Bedroom 1 9x9(carpet, paint)--The above area of the house is clearly an addition and overall is in good shape.

I would get a professional to do it.I have seen tenants get paint all over the carpet,hardwoods floors,counters,etc.I have seen them ruin vents,not tape over electrical outlets and plugs etc.Ruined some of the switches and had to be replaced.The can improperly dispose of the paint and chemicals as well causing a liability.The fact that they have been there 3 years is worth something.Maybe you could have them extend the lease more in exchange for painting the unit or slightly up the monthly rent or you could ask for a paint deposit to be held and if upon move out it's not changed back to white walls you keep the deposit.

His hobbies include partying 6 nights a week, inviting the band over to jam until 5 am, shooting pistols in the front yard, throwing swords through walls, skateboarding on the hardwood floor, parking in the front yard, breaking windows, fans and doors from wrestling matches, smoking cigarettes, breaking bottles and screaming at neighbors..

YuckReal hardwood is the way to go IF you're spending the price.

If you are refinishing hardwood floors, I would not paint until after the floors are done.

first I would say depend on the size of your pocket book ,ceramic tile for kitchen & bath yes granite is good,Hard wood floors is a better choice because it last much longer and more durable if carpets in good shape ad matches its surroundings keep it if not up grade make sure it fits your budget
