One of the most common causes of residential fires starts in the kitchen — particularly from unattended cooking.

I cashed in my $30K retirement and added a kitchen to downstairs to create a 2-bedroom apt. 

Rehab consisted of complete gut renovation of kitchen/dining area, new hardwood floors and refreshed bathrooms (new vanity and paint).I am bullish about the long-term appreciation prospects of the property and have trouble envisioning the hold strategy over the next 10-15 years. 

Kitchens – Still the king of ROI.

New kitchen, new full bathroom, added half bathroom, new eyebrow porch, new flooring, new paint.What if you did a light value add that projected a value increase enough to cover holding and selling costs, but the market depreciates a little?  

The cops said it was due to a teenager climbing in through an open window and was eating donuts in the kitchen. 

No, MTR guests don't need or expect Le Creuset or All-Clad luxury pots and pans ...... but that shouldn't give hosts license to raid thrift stores to stock their kitchens, either!

In this Spreadsheet I am comparing: OPTION: 1 Conventional Financing for "Buy & Hold" for a Rental vsOPTION: 2 using "Subject To" and Reselling to a Tenant Buyer OPTION: 1 As a Rental, the Kitchen and Bathrooms needed updating requiring about $5,000 of work in order to be ready to be a Rental.

We completely gutted the kitchen and bathrooms. we added a full bath and a closet.

Vs if you only earn 5k a year in cash flow that would take 4 years to get that money back, it might be better for me to think about where else i can put that money to better use.Or maybe you can invest that 20k into the property like getting a new kitchen and bathroom and now maybe the appraisal gives you a $20-40k bump in equity doubling your cash invested.
