You should be able to come up with a down and dirty cost to do a full kitchen, full bath, half bath, carpet per sqft, tile per sqft, etc, etc.

Mostly its a lot of little stuff that just slowly adds up, but I also need to install central heat/air.

The cost difference when you factor in the installation is negligible compared to laminate.

Block wall, Tough Shed, additional parking in front, new air cond, installed a Master Cool.

You might try Craig's List or check with a large commercial flooring supplier / installer that does offices and commercial jobs to see if they have any leftover lots from a large project.

They tend to focus on doing stuff like the following:If there's a religious statue, message, art installation or the like on government grounds, such as on court property, public schools or other areas, they petition for an equal right to install a message.  

It should also be embedded on the contract what make and model he is to install.

I don't really care what kinds of pets a tenant has because the laminate flooring I use has a 50 year warranty, is only 0.89/sqft, and I can install a whole floor of the stuff myself in half a day.

Being defensive doesn't help, it just shows you got a short fuseI have said this  probably 50 times.....If you want to stay out of trouble and learn some basics of real estate investing...Read everything from these people@J Scott wholesaling, Buy his books on BP, cheapest Wholesaling education that is clear and useful and actionable@Brian Burke  @Bryan Hancock joint ventures and private lending and syndications@Bill Gulley every bank and financial regulation known to man and beast, Hell I bet he could decipher OSHA lol@Ken Rishel anything is going to do with regulations of mobile home parks and Dodd Frank@Jay Hinrichs an unusual level of experience in land, transactional funding, and running a re brokerage@John Jackson lease option law in Texas, executory contracts in Texas, and stand up comedy lol@Dmitriy Fomichenko and @Brian Eastman solo 401(k)s and Private LendingAnd without beating my own drum, I'm pretty good with negotiating terms deals with sellers, lease options, wrap mortgages, and installment salesI doubt the talent in this list is easily matched or exceeded anywhere on any other USA RE siteMy advice is to just follow these people and take some notes

A condo that hasn't been upgraded since it was built in 1979 but is identical in every other way to one that has just been rehabbed with quartz counters, shaker cabinets, new black stainless appliances, imported tile floors, recessed lighting, fancy backsplashes, etc will show a much different $/sq ft.
