My investment plan once I finish remodeling my current house (~80% done) is to get it reappraised and have HELOC/loan funds available, appreciated money from a recent sale, along with cashing out my current retirement before the reduced withdrawal rate ends.

I dont have any experience in the current ones.However a contactor friend of mine did a remodel 3 yrs ago and the cabinets were part of the bid.He told me he bid installing them at 3x the normal cost of cabinets.When it was said and done the amount of time it took to install the kit of literally hundreds of parts he didn't make any money.In my opinion they looked very low quality.My current home I have gutted and will be buying from a local cabinet shop.

I contacted an agent about a low cost duplex, that was not in a great area (Glenville) but appeared to be fully remodeled and seemed like it could make a good rental.

Thanks for the reply Glenna, they are both built in the 1960s, these are the facts of both:$600k house - Built 1954, fairly well remodel inside from 2015, beautiful pool and good outdoor space.
