windows for rental SFH
Dear BP members
I'm new to real estate investing. Just bought and started fixing my first SFH. Im planning to keep it long term. Is it worth investing in fibrex (Andersen) or fiberglass windows vs Vinyl windows from Home depot or Lowe's ? Not sure if the extra investment is worth it?
Thank you!!

@Adeeb K. you will be much better served to find a local window manufacturer to buy from, especially for rental properties. I recently installed 170 windows at a 19 unit apartment building in Berwyn, IL. I ended up going with a small Chicago based company that did the windows at for around $130 a piece. If I had gone to one of the big box stores I would have paid double for sure. I have found that there are huge mark ups in the window business.
