It had refinished hardwood floors, new paint, all appliances other than fridge, new lighting fixtures, and only needed to carpet removed from the living room to make it completely move in ready.

Living room has hardwood floors (salvageable) and the kitchen has linoleum.

Below is a pic of the kitchen after the first day of cleanout.The 90 year old hardwood looks to like it can be saved.  

For example, let's say I went in and they had significantly damaged hardwood floors, and had scratched all the walls?

A major change in garage would warrant some sort of "sorry".I plan on leveraging this dissatisfaction, coupled with the fact that there is a significant loss of grass area to attempt to either overall housing cost, refund of a portion of whats in escrow or to upgrade the second floor to match the first with respect hardwood flooring.

Replaced carpets with laminate floor ~$5k installed (I assumed hard woods would be too nice for house price and we have a dog + new twin babies)3.

The building is an original duplex built in 1924.Kitchens, baths, floors (hardwood, one bedroom carpeted) were updated/refinished in the early 2001 - kitchen and baths were done well, doesn't feel dated;Plumbing and electrical has been updated.

(For instance, I was shocked when networking at a 3m beach front property in RI, the price to finish hardwood floors is still the same cost as my CT rehabs, $2 sq ft.)

.- Sand & Stain hardwood upstairs where the carpet was, the main level's floors are great.- Converting dining room to bedroom and open wall to kitchen from living area.- Finishing the basement.I will do my best to keep this updated, below pictures are from the first day and arent great, sorry they are sideways.

I'm not sure how big the place is, but carpeting and hardwood estimates seemed higher than I expected.You didn't mention HVAC which can get pretty expensive.
