The lot is 90x180. 2 bedroom and 1 bath with 10 ft. ceilings and hardwood floors.

I either finish hardwood floors or carpet the whole house...carpet is cheap.

I don't know what your units look like or location but it needs to have new hardwood flooring, contemporary kitchen, and curb appeal to attract buyers in photos. 2 bed $1500 is an average for A property so if that is true it can cash flow DSCR which makes it attractive.Have tools that allow for out of state ownership.

This is what I did to remove the smell:-Ripped out floating hardwood on first floor, there was a plywood subfloor.

somewhat standard things for me in SoCalformica/ tile counters ----> granite counters $5k3 beds to 4 beds $5k$2500 per additional half bath$2500 for granite/ stone counters in the bathroomsif there is laminate/ hardwood/ tile in the main living area $2 x total square footage of the house3rd car garage $5kPool $20k ish this one is squishy as the area and finish level of the pool can have a big impact, avoid pool comps if possible

They were always like....wow..you put hardwood floors in.....hmmm no it's vinyl,it just looks like wood and easier to clean. 

Refinishing hard wood floors, installing hardwood in one room that had carpet, new stainless steel appliances, venting out bathroom and kitchen range hood, all new paint, new light fixtures and door knobs, lots of plaster and patch work, new fixtures in bathroom, keeping tiles in bathroom and shower but doing a super heavy cleaning, refinishing existing bathtub, new glass windows (new glass not entirely new windows), nee tiles and grout for kitchen floor, sanding and painting cabinets (nice and white) in kitchen, keeping existing countertop in kitchen (not granite but clean and looks nice, installing dishwasher....I think that covers it...SO - here is the last piece of the puzzle...the kitchen has a drop ceiling.

When I found out what it really was I took it ALL including all it was adhered to, (solid hardwood oak flooring), Everyone SAID linoleum didnt have asbestoes,,,I guess it did. 

Could be a lot of money in those trees (especially the hardwood species in the Northeast). 

Other than carpet and replacing the treads with hardwood treads, what are some good alternatives for durable stair coverings?
