Hey Everyone,

I wanted to ask a very simple but problematic question for many investors. When investing in a rental property, do you chose Granite or Formica countertops?

It all depends on the market. I'd say in A and B class neighborhoods, go granite. Anything less, go Formica.

No need to spend money on granite when your tenant pool will likely rather urinate in a corner of the living room rather than waste the energy to walk ALL the way to the toilet!

(True story, BTW!)
