For example at $33 per foot in my area, a small kitchen can be $1500, labor and sink included.  

We completed a cosmetic rehab including replacing the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint and adding recessed lighting.We funded this project using a conventional loan and using our capital for a down payment and construction costs.

My parents refinanced and brought their mortgage rate down to 2.50% almost a year ago and used the funds to completely renovate our kitchen to increase the value on the home and bring a more modern feel to it. 

One of the units is a modular home and the other is a single family with a finished basement with its own entrance and kitchen.

New white shaker kitchen cabinets with quartz counters, stainless appliances and new light fixtures throughout.

Updated upper unit with new kitchen, bathroom updates, fresh paint, new windows and new lighting What was the outcome?

Finally after cutting it over 15% I told the owner let us at least upgrade the kitchen.

Solar loans are 30-50k and I believe that amount of money can be used to upgrade the homes bathrooms, kitchen or square footage instead of saving a few hundred dollars on power bill. 

Things like mailing and setting up a new set of kitchen wares may be difficult to coordinate.Other than that, I'm in general pretty happy with them.

All new electrical wiring (down to the studs in the kitchen and bathrooms) put it over budget $100,000.
