Any Landlords/Flippers Utilizing These Tips?
Read an interesting article about ways to cut costs when it comes to rehabbing a house. Was curious on if anyone in the country has utilized these tips and if they've paid off/worked out the way you were hoping. Personally not a huge fan of the painters tape accent wall and fake brick but the other tips seem to be great ideas and bring a lot of nice features into a house that I feel a lot of flippers miss out on.
Article is attached here for those that would like to read it.

Thanks for sharing this article! We've installed open shelving before. It's definitely in-style, and most people are fine with it. That being said, those types of shelves do collect dust over time. There can also be a fine line between the shelves looking modern and trendy vs messy and cluttered depending on what people store on them (and how organized they are). I'm with you on the painters tape accent wall and fake brick - not a huge fan.
I love the cable railing! We're currently planning how we want to update a staircase railing, and glass or cable are probably what we'll use. Avoiding fingerprints on glass, like the article mentions, is a pretty compelling reason to use cable, but I think glass looks a little bit classier.
