The carpet ruined from dog urine.

A “standard” cosmetic rehab usually includes all new flooring (carpet and hard surface floors), paint (inside and outside), baseboards, electrical and plumbing fixtures, new kitchen/bathrooms (including cabinets, granite, appliances), blinds and window treatments, new doors and a little bit of landscaping.For example, if you are buying a house that is around 1,500 sq. ft., you can plan on spending $30,000 for the rehab (1,500 x $20 = $30,000).This rule assumes you are rehabbing an entry or mid-entry house.

It’s been vacant but I’ve seen the inside...needs cosmetic work, paint and replacing carpet.

We require tenants to do a professional carpet cleaning upon move out and provide a receipt.

BP ComradesJust bought a duplex at auction for 100,000. Both tenants have been living there 2 years. We got them to sign new leases. Gross rent 1850/mTaxes 400/mInsurance 125/mUtilities 100/mMortgage 550/mMisc. ...

I recommend title insurance especially when the title is messy because a it's a sad day when the vendee makes the final payment and finds out that not only is access only via a prescriptive easement lets say, but the vendor shares title with five siblings all of whom need to sign a deed. 

Started replacing all our carpet in living areas and wondered if I was paying to much for the product I chose.

That being said, the contractor should be able to give you a material allowance for items, such as $x dollars for kitchen faucet or $x per square foot for carpet, etc...
