Freshened up the first floor and increased rentUpstairs we did a full remodel:- Bathroom- Kitchen- Flooring- Baseboards- Updated Electrical- Blew out ceilings and moved duct work into the attic- New closet doors- Freshened up the deck- Removed a tree- and much more- Exterior refreshThis renovation cost us close to 40k including the first floor What was the outcome?

I'm sure some people benefit but my personal belief is many wind up in debt after the rose colored glasses come off and they realized they got suckered via their vulnerable emotions.

Adding more color, it can help others also.
