Trying painting floors - will let you know.

Ok, I've just finished tearing out yet another piece of perfectly good carpet that was completely destroyed by an idiot tenant for no reason whatsoever. I'm giving painting these wood floors a shot to see if I can rent these things with painted wood floors instead of carpeting. The units go for about $475 a month for a 1 bed apartment. I'll have this thing ready before the weekend. If I can re-rent this thing in 2 weeks then I don't think I'll ever buy a roll of carpet again.

I'll let you know how it goes. I have a house I'm working on that goes for about 600 a month that I'm going to try this in 2 rooms as well. Again, will let you know.
