We bought a SFR built in 1941 and we refinished the original pine floors. Our first tenant after the floor refinishing was a petite woman who loved stilettos. She lived there for less than a year. All of the pine wood floors now have pock marks from the heels of the stilettos. I was crushed.

@Marcia Maynard,

could you say, you have the "weathered" look? some pay big money in today world to have that...

@Brice Hall,

did anybody inspect the properties? or are you basing all your numbers on paper numbers?

maybe ask your GC contact to do his inspection of the properties. than you may know what repairs are coming your way.

and @Ben Leybovich is right, working with "pigs" is not for everybody.

maybe have a look in the couple sub30k properties threads...

@Steven Maduro,

@Max Tanenbaum,

I think we think alike :-P

probably we can find a lot of practical ideas in the sub30k threads.

@George P.,

i saw people putting exterior carpet (no pad) in "flood-able" basement . maybe check after a big convention.... they almost give it for free

since you have kids, they are some rubber/plastic tiles (resembles the kids interlocking puzzles, but better quality/thicker) in case you need some thermal isolation

@George P., (sorry for being about a year late)

if you still have the problem, can you have an installer rip, install moisture barrier and re-glue the planks (with good quality glue)?

I haven't seen it for $.99, but I'd stock up on a few thousand SF if I could get it at that price.

@Jon Klaus, (sorry for being a year late to the party)

can you "dig" a bit more with your floor installer guys? sometime they have access to lots of leftovers from big installs....

@Steven Maduro,

I know I'm late to the party,

but could you school some newbie on what other improvements/style arrangements you used for your properties?

i'm in a similar area, but any help of providing a better living experience will be helpful.
