Sometimes when a property is sold it will trigger the need for the seller to make some updates, such as with railings, covers on exterior outlets and modifications to wood burning stoves.For smoke detectors and CO detectors, we install the ones with 10 year lithium batteries.

Grapevines destroyed, roses dead, broken glass in the windows, a wall knocked out of a metal shed.There was no sign of life, the extra family living in a travel trailer is gone, and there was a large flatbed trailer in the drive filled with ruined carpet, broken furniture, and garbage.

I install Sonic Surface laminate wood flooring, its not too expensive, waterproof and easy to install.

That includes the material, installation, and finish work.

I use concrete board inside the wood frames of metal chimney rehabs and masonry caulk sealing off the inside from any wood, just in case.

I had my flooring guy do the install and he was only had good things to say about the flooring.

And these days, mortgage applicants must be careful with using credit cards before closing because credit will be pulled again and they don't want to lose their qualification.That means if they did intend to use credit to buy the fridge, they could be a week w/o it.I knew a guy who installed mini-blinds at all the windows since he felt that having to fit 14 windows might turn away some buyers.If your market is such that most homes do not come with a fridge, then if yours has one, you have an automatic one up.

Just make sure it 'gets laid right' :)We had good quality (we thought) 'sheet goods' installed in a good sized kitchen during the winter & by summer the edges against the baseboards etc started to buckle.

Another way to save/make money is to seperate your trash , I pull out all metal and keep a pile at my shop , lawn mowers , washers and dryers ANYTHING metal .

I'm thinking vinyl sheets will be the most durable without the need to re-install each year between tenants.
