Should I redo this kitchen?
This is my first post and my first rental :)
This is a 3bd 2.5 bath in Chicago, am debating if I should redo this kitchen and get more rent or should I clean/repair and rent it out quickly?

From the picture you posted, the kitchen cabinets and countertops look good (especially for a rental). At some point in the future, if the appliances need to be replaced, you can find used (1 to 2 years old) updated SS appliances that can enhance the look of the kitchen that will not break the bank.
