It’s durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean.Countertops: Laminate or quartz countertops can be more cost-effective than granite but still offer a modern look.Paint: Choose neutral colors to appeal to a broader range of tenants.3.

@Allen Wu- .25% rate difference wouldnt be  ample for mw to choose to use a 10 yr arm  versus a 30 yr fixed ....especially  if the proeprty will be a long term hold .....once rates  drop you can  always  look at rtefinnancing options ....make sure to  review all the rate / fee options ....the  more you are willing to pay in loan fee ( points) the  lower the rate you can get will be
