Surrounded by quiet woods, this is the last house on the culdesac and the tallest and largest on the street.

@Yulia J.Based on what others have written here, it looks like the first place to go wood be your renter’s agreement.

Purchased a BRRRR duplex with carpeting throughout that smells very musty, it has barnwood type floors underneath, do i refinish the wood or put in vinyl plank?

The only other options are wood and electric.

Try Woods Electric, goes by Woody. 

Then put money into the house - took out a wall, new floors (fake wood looking tile), had a bunch of old oak trees taken out, removed hundreds of bags of leaves, repainted the inside and so on.

Labor and materials$270.00GCBaseboardRemove and replace baseboard with 3 1/4 colonial primed wood.

Never lose sight of that.

If the walls have “cats” or fire stops the time and labor will be increased add onto that the difficulty associated with running wires through insulation and the hassle of plaster and wood lath walls which were also the key building materials at the time of KnT your costs may increase.

Raise your sights higher.
