I'm a former general contractor and cabinet maker based in New York City.

If they still have to install kitchen cabinets, then I would wait.

We get our cabinets through.the box stores.

Completed kitchen remodel , new cabinets and drawers.

Also, if you have any materials you need (tile, flooring, cabinets, bathroom fixtures, etc) start picking those ASAP.

Sounds like a good opportunity but I am tied up with my own stuff...Under 100kNeeds: Roof, some plumbing and electric, kitchen cabinets and counters and a vanity He put in a good amount and has a project underway but just wants out. 

Here's what I did:Kitchens: Painted cabinets, updated hardware, added efficient appliances.Bathrooms: Installed modern fixtures, used neutral paint.Exterior: Applied fresh paint, improved siding, enhanced landscaping.Results: Property value rose by 100%What budget-friendly strategies have you used?

As a contractor and cabinet maker it made much more sense financially to purchase a home with a rental unit and manage the property myself.

All it needs now is a little TLC to bring it to life—think fresh paint, new fixtures, etc.The cabinets, floors, and walls are all in good shape, so you’ve got a solid starting point.

Tons of upper and lower new oak cabinets and counter space with custom granite counter tops.
