American Classics is home depots new brand, they clearanced out the other brand they used to stock awhile back, but of course i had no need at the time.. dang..Im going to be living in this property for awhile, hopefully 2 years for tax reasons and then selling, so I'm not too worried about super longevity of the cabinets, just need them to continue to look good for a few years..Laminate counters were my first though.. the more i think about the shape of the kitchen, with the U and all, i might go with tile, I think it'd be easier for me.. more experienced with tile counters then laminate..Tile backsplash was the plan!

Microsoft, Coke, IBM, not "cool" names, but you know them because of the constant marketing and longevity of the company.PS You can get a name, if you dont like it anymore, change it.

I'm new, so forgive me if this is going to be a naive question."How long does a house typically last?"I'm looking at turnkey buy and hold properties and the houses offered are typically older (built 1960-70s).  I know...

As for the counter tops, I love them also depending on how you finish will determine longevity.  

Statistically, I've got longevity on my side vs. several of the nasty residents -- My suggestion is to make an assessment vs dues increase if it won't go through.

This is why it is crucial to align with a team that has your best interest in mind (longevity of the asset & relationship) and can assist you in making decisions from hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

I like the longevity and wealth building overtime of rentals, however the quick pace of house flipping also has my interest.

The company should stand by their product, but limit their exposure from acts of God and tenant caused damage, which should not be covered under a warranty for good reason: They would not be able to adequately forecast the company’s performance and overhead costs, which would impact not only their clients, but their employees as well.A turnkey provider that follows this approach is more likely to be experienced and built for longevity.3.

OLD hardwood (think original stuff from midcentury or earlier) is by far the best value as far as longevity.
