Even so, I don't know what an appraiser will do, and one will certainly wonder why the bath tile are missing in the lower bathroom and the lower sheetrock.

Also, the master bathroom is in the middle of a remodel which will be done in a week or so - so that's a pretty significant upgrade over other units in the area.Combine that with new flooring in the front room, and there's definitely a case to an increase. 

We have found that appliances and bathroom items (fixtures, toilets) don't last nearly as long in rentals as they do in the properties we live in.  

I chose vinyl over laminate downstairs because I thought vinyl would be more durable because it wouldn't warp with contact to water.But, it seems like I'd need to be more concerned about water upstairs because after people washing, they'd walk from the attached bathrooms to the bedrooms without their feet being completely dry.5) Should I be concerned that the installer couldn't tell me what the AC rating was for the laminate?

Both units are 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, no garage, but partially finished basement.
