Ridge Owen Johnson: Welcome to Bigger Pockets.

There's so much to learn especially from the podcast.

@ Mike Conner: A good place to start is connecting with a knowledgeable local Realtor. They might be able to educate you on first time home buyers incentives or programs that could help you qualify for a home sooner than you may think.

@ Chris Landrum: The deck may not increase the rent amount. Consider the recent comparable rentals. If they rented without a deck, you may not need to make that investment.

In terms of tiles vs vinyl. Checkout your local home improvement stores (Lowes, Home Depot etc.) they may have clearance tiles that could be priced competitively.

Cheers!

@ Linval T. Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll check out the resources you recommended.

Thanks again!

@ Chris Missling: Sounds good.

It would be nice to connect to see how we could help each other business continue to grow.

Happy New Year!

Hello,

I'm new here to BiggerPockets and am excited to be part of this community.

I've flipped a few properties and currently own rentals. My ultimate goal in real estate is to own enough rentals that I can live off the income, travel the world and experience different cultures. 

Things I enjoy doing in my spare time?

Cooking, Reading, Listening to music, Relaxing on the beach, designing homes and restoring old furniture.

Cheers!

Hi Philip,

Benjamin Moore paint colors: Revere Pewter, Edgecomb Gray, Ballet White or Swiss Coffee. Benjamin Moore is more pricey, to save money you can mention these color to the rep at Home Depot, Lowes or wherever you go and they can recommend something that looks similar at a fraction on the price. Also ask  the rep to check for opened cans of paint. They sometimes have top brands as returns under the counter at rock bottom clearance prices (inside secret:)) Yes, go with a soft grey as it's more neutral, opens  up the space and it's not the regular boring beige.

Quartz is harder than granite,  however Quartz can burn if a  hot pot is left on it too long:)

Countertops: request quotes on granite, quartz and laminate, before making a final decision.

If you have more questions, let me know.

Hi Philip,

Congrats on another investment property.

Here are a few suggestions below:

Top priority: 

1. Paint the entire house in a soft grey. It's trending now. (if you need specific color suggestions, let me know)

2. New laminate (medium quality) flooring thru out ( exclude kitchen and bathroom)

Medium priority:

Kitchen: new light fixture, change door knobs, paint cabinet

Dining Room: remove two walls (verify first, to find out if they are wall supporting beams:)

Entrance: Change light fixtures.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
