I'm pretty flexible with what flooring goes down - Carpet, sticky tile, painted concrete, etc.

Cap-ex was needed for:* Original 1960s kitchen, appliances out of order* Original 1960s Pepto Bismol colored tiles in the bathroom* Tobacco and marijuana stains/odor in every room* Stained carpet covering damaged hardwood* Broken side door from forced entry by police* Zero recessed lighting with 3 layers of blinds on every window* Lots of trash in the basement both on the floor and mounted to the joists overheadCheck out the Zillow listing at: https://www.zillow.com/homes/119-Jasper-Pl-Alexandria,-VA-22...What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Then, give the GC or (Tile Contractor), enough to buy the tile only...after they are completely finished, then pay them the balance due on the tile ....only.

And in some cases, a roof inspection when the HI is not confident or the roof is a specialty roof (metal or tile) 

the bathroom tile is too old", etc.I was the only person crawling under the house, going in the attic, looking in the Main panel.....everyone looked at me like I was nuts.So of course I bid it way higher than anyone else and did not get it.

Finally, he leased the property (actually about half the property) to a tile distributor.

A lot of my clients keep the bedroom carpet until it is destroyed and then re-do it with wood/lvp/tile etc.

My places ALL have shutters on the windows and 100% tile floors, 3/2 and one story.  

@Houston Pitts We remove any/all carpet and replace with either durable vinyl, engineered hardwood or ceramic tile.
