budgeting when fixing rental

Brianna Johnson
Posted

Hi I am currently saving to fixing up my rental property the first place I wanted to start is the kitchen. Any tips on finding good quality material but for a reasonable price like countertops for example, would remnant stores be a better place? also what kind of kitchen appliances would you recommend putting in a rental?

It all comes down to the comps. What does rentals in your area have? Stainless Steel appliances? White appliances? Granite counter tops or marble or quartz?

No one here is going to be able to give you a straight answer.

In terms of finding good materials at good prices, there are generally areas off the beaten path where contractors go, but it might require a wholesale license. Talk to your workers and see where they go.
