Otherwise, some fresh paint and new carpet or hardwood floors would be great.

I have successfully gotten rid of dog and cat urine smells form old hardwood floors.

One thing I realized (too late) when I did my own new construction is that people pay for location, square footage, and some basic amenities - hardwood/laminate instead of carpet, for example.

My initial strategies have been good paint jobs and going from carpeting to hardwood flooring(laminate, really, but it's almost as good.)

On top of the floor is hardwood, and about 3 layers of vinyl.

Large 1 bedroom with finished basement, sunroom, large living room and kitchen, hardwood floors, washer dryer in unit, lots of closet space and storage.

In the process of closing on my new primary residence in the Darnestown/Germantown area. 1300 square feet with about 1000 of it covered in hardwood (main level except for kitchen, lower level stairs, upper level stairs, upper level consisting of 3 bedrooms).

I am getting my first property that has original pine hardwood floors throughout half the house, about 800 sqft.

When it was listed as REO, the new hardwood floors had been torn out, as well as the new kitchen cabinets and counters.The other was a house two doors away from one of my rentals, so I asked my tenant post-sheriff sale to let me know when furniture is getting moved out and lots of trash starts to get moved to curb - indications that the occupants are leaving.

Once you polish up the hard wood floors, fix up the bathroom and kitchen and give it a good paint it looks a million bucks.
