He did paint work, tile work, refinished hardwood floors and some woodwork.

There's hardwood flooring, new kitchen & bath tiling as well as fixtures yet the ceiling was ignored and doesn't match at all (I think he started updating it and decided to sell).

You can tell if granite or hardwood is common..Every market is different and each price point requires certain upgrades...

We have 2 houses that we like. by the way, we only have a 7m old child.The first one is in a Levittown 223k, 0.16 acre ( Pennsbury school district) good school district. no major work needed, but we still have to spend money on a few things. our major concern is that it is the most expensive house in the block. vinyl floor. doesn't look durable but it's new.the second one is in the Bensalem 270k, 0.18 acre( Bensalem school district) it needs a little work like new hardwood floor, new appliances, and the master bath need a little work plus it's small but functional.taxes are reasonable on both.which one sounds like a better investment base on the description above?

I updated the kitchens in my units, ripped out the carpet for hardwood floors and planted new grass in the side yard and that drove up value significantly.

New roof, HVAC system, vinyl siding, hardwood floors, paint, cabinets, bathroom sinks and showers, etc..

Hey @Michael Oliver, I've used Mark Lawson for Hardwood installs and restorations.

Since moving in, we have done the following work:-Sand/refinish original hardwood floors-Interior paint-Completely renovated and upgraded the kitchen-Completely renovated and upgraded the master bathroom-Significant landscaping updates-Converted stairwell to a walk-in pantryWe have done a lot of other smaller, mostly cosmetic projects but those are the major ones.

Is that hardwood or laminate?

Flooring of course is all new or if its hardwood its completely redone.
