Besides painting, property needed whole new flooring, updated appliances, some cabinets repair, AC unit is on its last leg, water heater almost 15 years old, and whole lot of cosmetics like windows, old plumbing and the yard front and back completely neglected.

During the first walk through, we made mental notes that we would gut the bathrooms, clean and paint the rest of each unit and leave everything else alone.

During the 1st walk through, we made notes to gut the bathrooms, clean & paint the rest of each unit & leave all else alone.

Was to be his painting studio and vacation house. 

Over the time living at the property we renovated the garage walls and added a sub panel, finished the basement adding a full bathroom, painted the cabinets, added more hardwood flooring to the house (kitchen and 2nd floor), replaced the appliances and fresh paint everywhere.

We have turned about half the building in 2 1/2 years; we did some improvements on those units-flooring, paint and appliances-raised rents heavily on those and modestly on the remaining long term tenants. 

The seller is also updating things like paint, gutters, and hot water heaters to name a few things.

I need to replace the floor and paint the interior house (walls, trip, 2 doors) The contractor that I worked with him until now raised his prices dramatically and I would like to create a benchmark for me in order to make sure I'm not overpayingI like to ask you from your experience, how much should cost installation of the vinyl floor (materials and work) for 1 sqftAnd how much should cost regular interior paint: (walls, trip, 2 doors)  for 720sqft.

The home only needs new floors and a fresh coat of paint, but is in pretty good condition.

Building itself is around 160K, needs rehab, like new carpet, paint, windows, some tile and kitchens.
