Particularly when it comes to bathroom and kitchen renovations.

Outdoor complete kitchen with water, electrical and drainage 5. 

In case you are wondering, and I'd be surprised if you are, I was a Project Manager for large design and construction projects in the commercial world and the utility industry. 

The unit I saw did just get new carpets, but I would say about 3k-4k may be needed to renovate that unit max (kitchen cabinates, door, small thing, etc.).

That leaves Roth IRAs, but they cap how much you can invest, and you still are forced to part with your money for decades.I'd far rather put as much of my money in an appropriately designed, high cash value, whole life insurance policy, borrow out from the policy and buy real estate.

Why can't you design your own?

Divide the home (or multi) into sections (kitchen, bath, flooring, windows, doors, stucco, paint, landscape, etc.).
