Those that think they can put carpet and paint in an older property, rent it out and have no problems/ expenses are not planning for success.

Rental grade cosmetic rehab- paint, carpet to go, hardwood underneath so polishing ,  install window/central AC and/or fencing depends on the rehab budget. roof, windows appears new. furnace, hot water heater in good condition, no fencing or central AC, basement and foundation in good condition (little moisture there though) waiting on contractor rehab estimate.Rent range - $695-750 . $750 if install central AC and fencing.

The property is in great shape (got new laminate in ground floor and new carpet for bed rooms when my old tenant left) and I landed a potential long term tenant (single elder person with solid income), so don't want to cash outCheersSunny

I worked at a carpet and flooring company (Imperial Wholesale) as my last job as a "9-5" working with "flippers" all day made me realize I was on the wrong side, and quit last month.

After all if you have to look at an orange countertop or green carpets for a little while, you will be ok. 

It could also use carpet and a few little things that I would not have to pay for (depending what they ask for).

He said the last offer was a full price offer, but requesting the seller to do new exterior/interior paint and new carpet.

I painted entire house, new carpet on main floor, original hardwoods upstairs, renovated bathroom, new counter in kitchen, new water heater, AC unit and Gas heat. 

You will have clogged plumbing, appliance repairs or replace, water heater replacement, roof replacement someday, carpet, paint, etc. 

My tenant just informed that he accidentally burned holes on the carpet.
