And given it looks like a standard espresso shaker cabinet, I'm guessing you might be able to find a color match.If you can't match the other countertops, then you could throw a butcher block countertop on the new base.

But the new one was 0.5inch wider so they had to cut the counter top and cabinets, which was not covered so they just left it the in the middle of the kitchen and i still end up paying for all that.I no longer get or care about home warranty for investment properties.

Hi fellow Hartford investors, I'm looking for a Handyman to install cabinets and countertops and other odd jobs.

I put all of their names on 1 lease, though give them the option to pay their portion separately, always take 1.5 months security because college students love banging counter tops, throwing beer bottles, and tossing each other into walls after 2 shots of gin.Students typically get their refund check end Sept-ish, I give them an option to pay Fall semester Sept-Dec (4 months) and spring semester Jan- May (5 Months)  up front, with no discount. 

As long as it doesn't have a range it can be built so we are using plug in, counter top, induction hot plates as a substitute for stoves.

I have one coming up I know will need a new roof in < 5 years, so I budget 10k plus about a 3-10k (for less than 3 units) margin should I want to make improvements in the next 5 years when tenants move out (ie vinyl flooring install, bathroom update, new counter top etc), and thats doing the work myself. 

They claim only $10-$15/sqft to fabricate and install granite countertops but $5/sqft to install laminate flooring.The website is total nonsense.

Fortunately despite the delays I was able to stay on the 30k budget for the most part, and at the end I decided to go a few thousand over to do granite countertops instead of formica and to do that nice mosaic backsplash so that the house would have a wow factor, which I think had a lot to do with getting it sold so fast!

If i am sure that I will go the Rent strategy, I would spend a bit more to put in more durable finishes such as tile flooring potentially higher grade countertops and casework, etc, compared to flipping.

Empty countertops are dull, so adding some cute (clean) towels, fruit bowls, even cookie jars go a long way to add some personality.
