Has fairly new appliances that are in good condition, new carpet in the bedrooms.

And he only replace the carpet, paint, and cleaned the appliances.

Carpet is only good for 3-5 years.

I hadn't thought about the sound issue when using hardwood on a frame above concrete, so thanks for pointing that out.Will Barnard Agreed, the best and easiest thing is to replace carpet with carpet.

New Kitchen, new carpet, new paint, new landscaping (front lawn and back lawn), new bathrooms (2) and new Windows (all 9 of them).

I spent nine weeks rehabbing it when I bought it, and that's with a plumber, electrician, and carpet people doing some of the work.

Just because the IRS says you can depreciate carpet over 5 yrs doesn't mean the life of your carpet is only 5 years.

Just talked with our local Multi-Family Housing council hotline in Portland, Oregon and he said the courts here support prorating carpet over 7 years.But, he says if there is pet damage you are entitled to have the carpet replaced 100%, no prorating.

I have emailed the owner/agent asking questions and she has always responded within 15 minutes (not sure if shes just prompt or motivated) The seller said they put new tile and carpet in each unit.

I plan to immediately have pro landscaping job done, replace exterior carpeting on stairwells and either replace wooden decks or have them repainted depending on cost.
