Granite or Concrete Counter Tops in New Duplex

Hello Team,

This week, I signed a PA for my 4th rental property in Minneapolis, MN. It is a disaster, but in a very solid area, so a play for both cashflow and equity. 

I'm currently outlining a plan for renovation... I'm torn between Granite or Concrete. Granite is probably classier, cleaner and will last longer. But my friend's Dad who is a Concrete Mason, has offered to assist if we choose Concrete. All he would take as payment is beer ;-)

So, I could renovate and add granite, or go with concrete in these 2 units, and another unit in my quad, all for $250 in materials. No labor. This instead of $3-4K for granite.

I'd be curious to hear what the board has to say-- what would you do?
