What renovations will significantly increase appraisal value?

[Natisha Phouphayly]

Hi all! 

I just put my first BRRR property under contract. I just wanted Bigger Pocket's opinion on how to increase value on a property. With those who have experience, what have worked for you? For those who don't have experience yet, what do you look for when purchasing a ready to move in home?

I'm trying to budget but maximize my ARV as much as I can. Does having a granite countertop in kitchens make a difference compared to laminate countertops? What are your opinion on vinyl plank woods in comparison to hard wood floorings? Should landscaping be apart of my rehab budget? Questions like these always raise a curiosity to me. I'm looking forward to everyone's opinion and suggestions.

Thanks,

Natisha
