Outside of what the inspector listed, my bid was based on cosmetic repair/updates (kitchen & bath remodel, paint and flooring and misc things like new door hardware).

Would you ever consider doing a stone veneer on the wall with a matching tile on the floor.

I did find this idea when I searched online: Use peel and stick vinyl floor tiles.

Also, the floor had some big cracks and looked bad and this was a home built in 1904 with a brick basement, common for the area which is a hot area of higher priced older homes here, so I had the three walls removed and replaced with new block walls, a drain tile and sump pump system put in and a new floor poured on top.

Because of groundwater ingression via the backyard (another issue altogether), tenants have had to pull up the laminate flooring, exposing the original vinyl.

It has 1 1/2 baths and both are original and need to be redone, hardwood floors in the bedrooms could certainly use some work, I have to get my floor guy there to see if he thinks they need to be sanded or not, it needs new carpeting in the living room and family room, kitchen isn't bad but we'll be putting granite in there along with new appliances.

Radiant floors?

Floor is porcelain tiled all the way to the walls.

I installed some Tarkett wood laminate in a couple of properties a few years back and have experienced it coming apart on the short side in a couple of places in both properties.

I've also seen this in many o...

The idea for me was to live there for a year, rent out the other floors and in a year do it all over again so I could get the owner occupant 5% down loan.
