i was thinking ceramic tile throughout, but my contractor recommended the vinyl wood-looking flooring.  

My original budget was 15,000, I will be about 30,000 all in after this week when my last tenant moves in.Here is why:3,000 in unknown structural repairs (termite damage)3,000 in unknown electrical repairs (they had KnT hidden in the walls upstairs, yet tied into new romex at the breaker box, and the outlets/fixtures, it was all replaced)3,000 stolen from my original contractor that I had to fire (lied about work being completed, redoing much of the work he was paid for/ did not actually do) 2,000 for a new AC just crapped out last weekI would say the other 4,000 or so was my own decision to replace a few appliances, add higher end flooring and fixtures, and just overages on my end. 

I can finish the floor and wall.

Looking for floor and cabinet contractor asap

Electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, flooring, kitchens, and baths will be completed by myself.  

New kitchen, baths, floors, etc.

In my version of all this, I like to land on a rehab once I already have a buyer picked out an prequalified and I know where they want to buy and I can walk a deal I have under contract and do a scope of work and upsell the cabinets,floors etc (manage costs) and the potential buyer is excited about moving into a customized new home instead of a used home. 

Plan about $9K in repairs up front for new carpets or floors, paint, 6 appliances, hot water heater, plumbing leaks, and to fix whatever else was broken.Also, if you are planning FHA financing please beware that many of the foreclosures will not qualify due to disrepair.  

Would it cover just the removal of the carpet or the entire replacement/installation of the new floors?

I'm looking to do mostly drywall, a little bit of wall tile, and floor tile.
