Square Tile Ceiling vs Sheetrock for an appraisal

Brandon Jones
Posted

Hello,

My wife and I are doing a BRRRR on a condo that has square ceiling tile. It's in good shape, but I'm wondering if we'd see the ROI in the refinance from a higher appraisal if we decided to rip it out and add sheetrock and recessed lighting. Any thoughts?

recessed/sheetrock is a low cost, no brainer improvement that sells.
