Our First Rentals! (pictures!)

[Molly Morlino]

My husband and I dreamed of these for the last 18 months... We pushed, paid things off and saved money... Did much of the work ourselves, and here we are!  Landlords!  (well, we are taking applications this week)  They are single family 400 sq ft 1 bedroom, 1 bath homes.

These look really good, you all did an excellent job. They're furnished like an Airbnb property, have you thought about that option as well? The cabinets look great and I like the colors you went with. How much did you purchase them for and how much work went into fixing them up? Can you post before and after pictures? How long did it take to complete the renovations since you decided to do most of the work yourselves? 

 Oops, we built them from the ground up! They're brand new construction. We spent about $40k per house.

All of the furniture is IKEA (including the kitchen cabinets). I believe the kitchens ran us about $4200 each, including the scratch/dent (or on sale) appliances. Granite counters, too. 8.5x8.5 kitchen.
