The upstairs is carpeted for the most part, so I don't think the footsteps have the same affect. 

, painted everything, tiled the bath and kitchen, raised the ceiling in the hallway and moved the A/C to its own ductwork, installed new doors, trim, carpet.

I just pulled a carpet and laid a floor in my daughters room yesterday, legs and back are sore as heck today. 

It was just renovated with new carpet and paint.

Wow... would heavy grade carpet work..... just joking;)

Financial woes came and the project came to a screeching halt.I had to quickly move on to a couple of different “carpet & paint” projects for cash flow which seems to be a primary concern given your career.After weighing the pros and cons, if you decide to go this route, know that time and experiential knowledge to GC this project is critical in controlling costs.

Imagine if you have to replace a carpet, appliance and paint and clean the entire place. 

@Gina Carter I’d say trusting you’ll find good tenants (qualified and respectful) who pay on time, plus check in on the physical property outside monthly, and inside at least quarterly to check filters, carpets, toilets, etc.

I just closed on a 4 apartment building and they are removing the carpet now, have not decided who will manage it's books. 

e.g. there 15 years, never replaced the carpet, likely it can be totally destroyed and that is not damage.
