One guy told me my carpet looks like it should be replaced.

First one I might be able to fund it myself. dress up kitchen, cheap/used appliances, redo bath, new carpet, landscape, minor fixes could cost 20K.

When pressing tenants for feedback I get everything from windows are original, wanting new carpets to we just started looking.

Wall to wall carpet needs to be pulled but there is hardwood under some or all of it that could be refinished.

I currently have dark brown carpets, but I've been suggested to consider tiles or laminate floors.

If the settlement fees were around $3K, total cash required would be $18K plus any rehab (paint, carpet, etc.)

We are going to put vinyl plank flooring in to replace the carpets, but the wood paneling is the rest of the basement.

Needs only carpet and paint.My first question is this: Even if I had a buyer lined up at $90k, is 2 weeks long enough for us to close on this property before auction?

Think about that the next time you are at Home Depot and wonder if you should go with the cheaper carpet and save 30 cents. 

I have even had customers come in where I work and overflow the toilets there causing $100's in damages with replacing carpets and what not because the didn't know how to plunge or just panicked.With an older 2.5-3.0 Gal model you can pretty much be assured that if it clogs and your tenant decides to flush it again as a way to clear it, you will have an overflow and have a mess to deal with.
