The rest of the house is mostly redo the kitchen, probably the bathrooms (may be able to save fixtures, but cabinets, flooring and shower tile need done), re-sand hardwood (hoping to salvage the wood by the leak?)

We couldn't resist listing it in the spring market before it was finished (tile was going in, etc), and when we didn't have offers, we weren't sure if the price was too high for the neighborhood or if people were just reluctant to offer on a house under construction.

If your not thinking the rental route, I have to say I personally received an excellent education buying and flipping my first property, did 80% of the work myself, watching youtube videos to learn how to tile along the way, etc.

Tile in bathroom, carpet in bedroom/living room, and laminate wood flooring in kitchens.

Kitchen remodel with wood cabinets, granite, new dimming LED down-lighting, new breakfast island with glass doors, and new tile.New tile in two bedrooms and wood plank style tile in the family room.Fresh paint inside and out. 

I would only use tile where there is a bath or shower.

I got the title search done, but bit confused at the mortgage information shown in the tile search report.

If you're dealing with middle class family rentals I would do things that are necessary:Remove any carpet in bathrooms, Remove any dirty carpet and replace with tile or laminate.  

Hello all,I'm about to start working on the kitchens and baths of my two-unit in Newport, RI, does anyone know a good stone worker for counter installations or flooring installer for tile?

Ask him if he had found any major problems that he took pictures of, if there are only minor things, cracked glass, cracked tile nail holes etc. don't even bother, if something major then it be be good to have to document and use for negotiation.
