Carpet is the standard here, tight loop berber, all the same color, carpet squares in finished basements.

I did a complete rehab on my first rental in 2008, including a new furnace, a gut rehab on the kitchen, carpet throughout the house, plumbing replacement and a new water heater.

Even an extra pet deposit will never cover the cost pet damages to carpet and padding plus potential liability dog bites.

Here is the ad:2 + 1 1/2 nice condo 999 square feet, 1 year old carpet and tile, double pane windows, fireplace, grassy areas outside, not close to a bunch of others ....this complex only has 5 condos in it and the owners are the association.

I talked with her, she said:new carpet last year---has the linoleum but didn't get it put in because of the health crisis;has brand new acIt's in a bad small park---space fee $600!!!

No paint, no cleaning, no new carpets, nothing.

My mom made a few upgrades to the house, added a deck, ripped up the carpet and added hardwood floors, and I'm impressed by the curb appeal my step dad did with the flowers and bushes put into the front and back yards.

Paint and carpet (one of them didn't even require carpet).

You can get a rehab loan for most work (including appliances but not the roof), but the contracters are paid 45 days afterwards. some won't do this but a lot will - especially in this economy.they also dress up the places too - put in tile, new interior doors, carpet, etc - in order to get them off the market more quickly.it seems some come back on the market though, after being sold. i'm not sure why. maybe too high of repair costs or didn't qualify for a loan?

NEW CARPET!
