Made it an ideal owner occupied. modified older cabinets for a dishwasher and refinished the hardwood rather than replace.

If we painted the kitchen cabinets and put in new countertops how much would this impact our appraisal or would it at all?

When you are selling or renting a residential home to a person, a couple, or a family there is so much more emotion about the location, the street, the flooring, the cabinets, the back yard, etc.If you have a great commercial space in a great location, you will find tenants.

For example, my Converted Multi Family 2 Bed unit has about 900sqft of living space, in unit washer/dryer, private deck, access to backyard, walk in closet, bedroom office suite, enormous granite kitchen island, 42 inch cabinets, and basement storage - rents for 1400/M.

They even left pen marks on the cabinets where he was measuring.

Only a base cabinet with a sink.

Johnson  I can usually walk out with a permit for an interior rehab (move a few walls, new cabinets, new tiles, new flooring, new bathroom(s), paint interior and exterior).  

The renovation will include: kitchenette (framing, cabinets, countertops, appliances), LVP ~1,000 sqft, sound insulation in ceiling, 2 egress windows, install a up/down washer dryer, replace 5 vinyl windows.I understand pulling permits would cost more and take more time.

And if you are using roof trusses, your ceiling is most likely on 24" layoff.Your dad would question you for the cabinet install.

The GC should have accounts at various cabinet stores, wholesale granite yards, flooring outlets etc to get you a certain level of quality and might get a discount.
