I also recently remodeled a 1940s duplex in Downtown and turned both units to AirBnBs that are absolutely crushing it!

I'm making a shift from remodeling contractor specializing in kitchens and bathrooms to home renovations.

I just got a buy and hold property with 3 bed and 1 bath, 1200 sf that only need cosmetic rehab (paint, new hardware and fixture, refinish wood floor, remove a wall (may be a load bearing wall) to connect living room ...

I don't mean newly built, or remodeled to HGTV standards.

Which I do have (barely lol)And yes I do own a house, which I bought for $0 down in November and finished remodeling around February.

Part of my strategy in this market is to turn a SFR into 2 rentals by fully remodeling the basement into a 2-bedroom unit.

I have done a refi before to remodel my house but never to fund an investment because I always use private money (from others, OPM) for that.But I do know that a lot of BP members do use HELOC for investments.

Hi,Currently wife and I are living in a house we’re planning to rent out perhaps 2-3 years from now.The expected rent is about $2200 in the DFW area.We are currently remodeling the kitchen and have either the options of going with granite or quartz.Cost wise granite will be $2700 and quartz is $4200We quarts is basically maintenance  free but is the price worth it?

The property was just remodeled and I don't foresee searching for a new tenant taking very long.

Recently, I completed a basement remodel to add a 190 sq ft efficiency unit (separate entrance) for STR.
