Floors float ceramic above dated tile.

If it is ceramic or a synthetic then you just seal the grout.

first I would say depend on the size of your pocket book ,ceramic tile for kitchen & bath yes granite is good,Hard wood floors is a better choice because it last much longer and more durable if carpets in good shape ad matches its surroundings keep it if not up grade make sure it fits your budget

thank u.It is ceramic tiles.

Previously to this I had replaced carpet with ceramic tile (already a couple of chips through the surface layer), Pergo (still looks like brand new after 3 years but is not waterproof like LVT is) and when I bought my first rental, carpet, which was ruined after 3 years. 

They review really well as people say buyers and inspectors often mistake them for ceramic tile.

A home is certainly not a home, otherwise we all mind as well shop for rental properties on paper and not consider the home. 2 homes side by side, but one home has vinyl plank flooring instead of carpet in high traffic areas, ceramic tile in kitchens instead of vinyl, upgraded bathrooms with ceramic tile and accent tile, newer vanities, designer ceiling fans in living room and master, new counter tops instead of the old dated ones, etc., will perform better.

I'll take a shot but keep in mind I have no clue what your house is like but good educated guess would beKitchen - $8000.002 Baths - $7000.00Flooring mix of carpet & ceramic tile - $4500.00Electric (meaning light fixtures and outlet/switches) - $2500.00Plumbing (meaning finishes) - $1500.00HVAC (meaning new 80% furnace/3 ton condenser) - $4000.00Landscaping - $1000.00Siding - $7000.00Don't forget painting - $3000.00And you have a $500.00 cushion lol...not bad for a guess but if I was forced to do that this is how I would budget it. 

A property that looks old and dated will be vacant far more then a nicer one that has been updated with new countertops, nice ceiling fans (not the cheap 4 blade white ones), new vanities, nicer faucets, exterior neutral paint colors, ceramic tile in kitchen and baths.  

New appliances in kitchen, granite countertops, ceramic tile, new carpets - nothing needs to be done to unit but clean carpets - cats....Expect it to rent for $1,100-$1,200 so should cash flow nicely.Question - I'd like to try to buy the unit fully furnished - couches,washer/dryer, everything but the mattresses and box springs.I know I can't put the furnishings in the offer price for mortgage, but would provide a separate cash offer for those.I am thinking about structuring an offer like this:Open at $115 for the unit unfurnished, seller to steam clean carpets plus a couple thousand cash for the furnishings.
