Add simple white subway tile backsplash in kitchen areaDepending on feedback from tenants, I'm considering investing the the Allure vinyl planks throughout the entire unit for a more cohesive look.

and MLS was still in books.. etc.I look at the BP as phenom  were all of a sudden people with zero knowledge or experience in RE can ask questions form many who have years of experience and knowledge.. just depends on how the experienced folks want to engage.. and of course there are a thousand ways to make money in RE and much of the profits come from folks that do it there way in their specific markets its not a one size fits all industry.So as it relates to what I see on BP there are two camps.1.

I'm not an expert but I think resilient vinyl planks installed at a 45 degree angle would look great and should meet most of your requirements.

It is serious money and rather discovered this great site and since then hangin on to this one to educate through podcast/blogs ,network w/ other investors and engage myself by asking question in the forums.
