Hi @Dustin Battas   @DJ Cummins @Kevin McGinnis I'm also from Bethalto and currently live in the Wood River/Roxana area.

Ideally the back would all get the same flooring but I want to avoid going from hardwood to a secondary wood flooring.

For me, I wasn't looking for the suit and tie real estate agent but more so, an agent that understood my mission and isn't afraid to pull up some carpet to expose that good wood.  

That being said, "knock on wood" there's not a bump in the closing process.all in all it was a good experience.

Try Wyndy Woods for a realtor.

ThanksRyan Woods

I like the wood trim in the front.How did you choose your realtor?  

Glad to see another person from that neck of the woods in Real Estate and engaging on BP.We should get together soon.

Here are the facts:- 2 story MFR in Dorchester, MA (up and coming suburb of Boston) - 6 bdrm, 1 bath per unit- traditional block foundation, wood frame, New England tile siding. - Listing price on HUD $365,000- Comp a few doors down with almost identical layout (1.5 bath vs 1) sold for $399,000 last November. - approx ARV $400k- rehab costs are extreme but unsure at exact estimate due to my lack of experience but at least $40kAfter a physical inspection here's what I noticed.

I am thinking of putting Vinyl (Allure) flooring based on the suggestions on the forums here, but I also don't want to lose the wood that is still in good condition.
