[Shepard Solomon]

Hello,

I wanted to know when I renovate a home what are the best ways to add its value?

What are the main places to renovate?

What are the best materials and appliances to renovate (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, basement etc.) that are durable and cost effective?

What sites or books can give me detailed information.

Also what is the best way to furnished a home for a profit?
