But try something like "Amazing renovation, stunning home with granite countertops, renovated bathrooms, hardwood floors- tell me all the great features.

Hardwood floors; NEW plush carpet & vinyl.

Fully refurbished (new hvac, wall to wall carpeting, appliances in the kitchen, tile in bath and hardwoods, etc.)

Then there's the carpet, the hardwood floors, the appliances... you get the picture.

Some areas might need just patching/leveling and then hardwood laminate right on top.Regarding the downstairs master, Im convinced it would be a great space and would outright sell the house.

We bought house #1 and are working on the rehab - at this point, we are on track to spend about $8000 in repairs, mostly adding to the curb appeal, refinishing the hardwood floors, and some repairs.

I'm putting in a new kitchen, paint, hardwoods, carpet, light fixtures and other minor stuff.

I think I will go this route as the PMI will not add a significant % to the interest when compared with interest I would pay to get that 20k by other means (student loans not paid off).I have found a house listed at 125k that is a 3/2 1000 sq. ft. ranch with nice updates (granite countertops, hardwood refinish, cherry wood cabinets, finished basement, modern bathrooms, etc.), garage, deck, and an 800 sq. ft., finished, basement.

It was a bunch of ancient crap and how it's everybody has it bad for those hardwood floors.
