To Upgrade, Or Not to Upgrade - is the question.

Hi gys - 

I find this nice property. Its got basic kitchen - simple appliances, wooden countertops, old style cabinets. but all looks clean, good, not damaged.

It comes to mind to upgrade all this to sell higher and quicker. But then I wonder - rather than putting in 10K and then asking for 10K higher - why not just ask 10K lower?

Anyone's got a similar dilemma? Experience? Advice?

Thank you.

How about just relaxing and painting the cabinets, replacing the counter, and installing appliances from the local discount appliance store... That way you can save money and still get the "fully updated" look that will sell quickly.
