Hi Victoria,All of those individuals could hold the solution to your problem but may not necessarily offer budget friendly options as they have their own additional fees for such service.I would suggest speaking with a Carpenter or General Contractor who specializes in Kitchens and Baths as they can assist with the design and execution of the project.As far as some options that you have (without seeing you kitchen) you can refinish the cabinets to update the color, replace the cabinet doors to a modern style, or update the counter top and backsplash.

I've heard good things about Avail.co (thru realtor.com) and apartments.com.

Find a price point you can purchase properties at, find the location, drive that location looking for run down houses or vacant houses, research the houses, decide how you want to contact those owners, analyze the properties, make offers, get rejected, get no response at all, get counter offers, etc...

In addition, we are currently in an extremely supply-constrained market that I would imagine won't normalize for a year or so, driving prices up to a bidding-war scenario.So, questions loom:-  Your guess on impact of all properties in a rising rate environment, say 2% increase over the next two years.-  Your opinion on whether to hold or sell, even given the tax/commission cost of selling against a bidding war.Cheers.

Every single online news article is biased and solely to drive consumer traffic.

To fully drive the mental aspect home, think about if you owned a convenience store and a customer stole from you.

Don’t just drive through.

Taking a risk for two weeks is like driving without insurance and hoping all goes well.

I'd highly recommend listening to episode 218 of the BiggerPockets podcast, as well as reading, "Driving for dollars: 5 Tips To Easily Find Off-Market Distressed Properties" by Chris Feltus.
