Anywhere from $500 - $2500+ depending on the insert you install and whether you run the vent and exhaust up the old flu or cap the flu and vent/exhaust through the side of the house/chimney.If you hire out the entire job, expect to be in the $1K - $1200 range.

The loan programs of your buyers will dictate how much of a credit you are allowed to apply to their closing but it certainly helps to move inventory when you offer an incentive. 

Doing so also helps create some level of USP to a sea of growing inventory across platforms like Airbnb.With their introduction to paid advertising it’s going to be interesting to see how their algorithms change from a ratings perspective. 

Keep in mind refinancing costs typically range from 2%-5% of the loan amount, so weigh the upfront costs against the long-term savings to see what works best for your goals.Good luck!
