We usually put laminate down instead of carpet.

I added value by installing all new systems, finishing attic, expanding attic bathroom, expanding kitchen, new flooring, new carpeting, all new tile, appliances & granite counter tops.

Mine was a heater coil with so much dirt and pet hair it looked like a shag carpet was draped over it. 

For someone to flip this thing you would want new appliances (3k), carpet in the bedrooms (4k), HVAC (6k), paint (8), misc (4k) = $25k.We can call ARV around the 285-290 mark for a pretty solid deal.ARV = 290k75% = 218krehab = 25kCould probably wholetale at like 240-250?

For instance, if in your market you can get away with laminate flooring instead of carpet, then go with laminate flooring.

Rents are currently 15-20% under market value due general deferred interior items including dated carpet, lower quality laminate flooring, and paint.

@Bjorn Ahlblad Yes I plan on leaving it undisturbed but will put fresh carpet or something down.

Carpet needs to be removed from 3 rooms and on stairs to the second level.

So, Started tearing up the pretty nasty carpets, and found some pretty water damaged wood underneath, as well as some pieces that had dry rot (or termintes?!)

Did full renovation including new HVAC, roof, plumbing, patio addition, driveway repair, laminate, tile, granite, paint, trim, carpet, shower, vanities, toilets, light fixtures, landscaping.
