I like the vinyl plank wood floors everywhere, so no need for carpet cleaning and tenants seems to like it better than carpet.For countertops, the most durable and cost efficient is a plastic laminate, but you have to go with the finish that matches your neighborhood.I've noticed that things like sinks and toilets and fixtures just have to look decent, but can be on the cheaper side.

I had issues with the plastic impeller shaft on the water pump.

The area is large enough that someone could still wash a baby inside a plastic tub if needed.

Many times the plastic/rubber flap inside the tank doesn't close properly so the toilet runs and runs. 

We went from a gutted space that was basically an old industrial building and we built out a full kitchen with walk in cooler/freezer, 70-tap draft beer system (not yet installed in the after pic), full bar, and 80 seats inside with an additional 35 seats on a 600 sqft covered patio. 

The windows on this house and on my residence nearby have brittle plastic inserts holding the glass on all four sides on the exterior.

Has plastic blinds so no cloth curtains to worry about there. 

They're not evil rectangular plastic monsters.  

The laundry area could be partitioned off with louvered bi-fold doors to ease appearances.You could possibly take down the wooden shed between the trees and build a garage with extra storage space right behind the "patio", if that would withstand being used as part of a driveway.David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

If you remove it it will burst into a lot of dust, that's why it's important to seal the area in plastic, work with hazmat gear and clean up afterwards.
