Remodel The Kitchen and Bath

[Christian Dell'Orfano]

Remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms in your property is a great way to make a house feel like home. Try not to forget it is also a great way to bring up the value! Cabinets could also make a big difference in the types of renters you attract to the property. These are all great reasons to throw out and update the cabinets from the old particle board or built-in cabinets that haven't been on trend since the flat screen TV came on to market!

In all seriousness, the quality of the cabinets you put in to your rental units and rehabs truly make a difference when you go to sell. Tenants will slam and drown your cabinets that don't have soft-close doors or drawer. This will in turn will end up being more time and money out of your pocket to fix the problem that could have been fixed the first time. All too often I see remodels using particle board cabinets and Formica or laminate countertops. One of my biggest pet peeves is to see quality, all-plywood cabinets being topped with some kind of countertop other than granite or quartz. Sure, maybe the price of granite is a few extra bucks, but this will go a long way. It will make you look good, make the tenant happy, and save you money in the long term. Putting a quality kitchen and bathroom in will save you headaches in the future and save you time because you won't have to do anything except clean them when it is time for your next tenant.

Now with all of that said, thank you for reading my first post to the forums. I am new to the BiggerPockets community and love to listen to the podcasts. I no longer listen to music in the car, I listen to BiggerPockets podcasts.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts below!
