Turns out inexpensive kitchen updates pay off big time when you sell your home, with homeowners recouping an average of 85% of their investment.6 updates you can make to your kitchen without renovatingDid you know that a minor kitchen renovation project costs around $22,000 and a major kitchen remodel can set homeowners back $65,000?

I used to do junk removal and demolition for these kinds of companies and saw all the worst case scenarios in columbus from tenants that can pay $800 per month. check the vetting requirements, raise the price to get into your unit. 900 per month is cheap in columbus if you are buying c class make sure to take a little more like 2 months rent so the people moving in aren't scraping by

If you have more money than time, pay someone.
