I bought a little townhouse to fix up and rent out basically to fund my dad's retirement because I don't want to be working at Wal-Mart when I'm 50. This is what we did over Christmas vacation: new Armstrong Luxury vinyl floor tiles with grout, painted and sealed the countertop, cleaned the place up, and changed the outlets that were original to 1973. We also installed smoke alarms and dead bolts for safety. The Formica had come off the countertop and the previous owner had just put a coat of latex paint over it so it would look nice, but it never would have held up. Since it was already painted, I did a faux finish and three coats of Polycrylic which should hold it until I can afford some granite.
