However, you can expect to recover about 50-55% of your investment when selling the home.Improve curb appeal, which is what you mentioned before, clean up the exterior, add landscaping, and make minor improvements to enhance the property's first impression.

@David Butler I listened to the episode and I didn’t get that impression at all.

What you pay with labor will depend on if for instance one of my units still has a good pad and tack and strip then I just pay for carpet and installation cost.What you will pay will also depend on how much you are installing at one time.I don't like Berber for rentals.The design of the loop once it starts unraveling it can unwind pretty good an dis harder to get certain stains and pet stuff out of it.With carpet you want a Nylon carpet even if the cheaper version.Some carpet guys will try to sell you the rubber composite carpet stuff which is the really cheap stuff so it will stand up to tenant abuse.The problem is it can only be cleaned usually up to one time and then you need to replace it again.So I would rather get a cheaper nylon that can be re-cleaned many times over after installation for an additional .10 to .15 a sq ft extra than the super cheap stuff I will have to replace again.If you get 1 sq ft for carpet,pad,tack and strip,and labor install and it is Nylon you are getting one heck of a deal.Even at a carpet place usually you are at .40 to .50 for the pad and .50 to .60 for a cheap carpet.Then you have to do material to install and labor.I have seen sometimes if you have to do a small area you can pick up quality remnant pieces for real cheap and hit that type of number or buy in bulk.

I know Columbus is talked about a lot, but appreciation hasn't been that impressive IMO.

But if you really want to be impressed go to Camp Lejeune (Semper Fi) 

New carpet and assorted repairs. we are hoping to spend more time in Asia the next two years and i am not impressed w PM here due to high costs and low quality considerations.

Those definitions are generalizations using a lot of words to make them sound more impressive. 

Sellers, this is your cue to make sure your home is in pristine condition and ready to impress from day one.

The value of the property skyrocketed from the original $125,000 purchase price to an impressive $300,000.
