Every kitchen update can't be a big expensive one. Here is an example of a rental property I wanted to update on a budget and a few budget friendly ideas to update your space :)
Turned out great! Really nice work, those counters really sell the place 🙌🏼
@@ZacJones thank you!!
Love the kitchen!!!! great job!
@@DIYPlumbingGuy thank you!!
Very prudent approach. And the sweat equity invested saved a bundle!
Oh for sure! I hate whenever I pay for something to be done because of the markup!
Good video and information, thank you!
Thank you for watching!!
What's nice about that kind of microwave hood with the metal rack, is usually they are also a convection oven. So you can totally eliminate the oven stovetop combo, and in its place put shelves for your iron pans or stainless pots and an induction stovetop insert. I highly recommend GE Profile for the covection microwave. Empava has a great 120v dual burner induction insert.
Can you link me to that Microwave you have in there? That looks like it would fit my space really well.
Looks fantastic!
Thank you!
Nice work! I hope you find a tenant that has more respect for your property and appreciates all the work that went into it. Rental properties must be a frustrating business.
@@cwcole thank you! Me too 🤞🏼you know, some people are great! But the rough ones are really rough!
@@YouCanDIYHome Those door handles on the fridge. Animals. Ripping the laminate on the counter. No self awareness or cares. It's a dog eat dog on the rental props.
How do renters break face plates on light switches and receptacles? As always, you do great work. I always admire the quality of your craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing. Side note: I am starting my own RUclips channel, and I am facing all the same struggles anyone starting out on RUclips faces. What camera set up do you use? I tried filming on my iPhone, but immediately ran out of storage.
Im always amazed at some of the random damage of different parts of the home. I’ve had to stop asking myself why? And how?
So, would the previous tenant have needed all those fly strips if a wee bit of cleaning had been done once in a while?
How many properties do you have? And are you finding it worth it with all the work and upkeep you're putting into them?
@@erics9487 we have 8 residential rentals and I have one under contract now. I do definitely think it’s with it. The equity growth when you hold on to properties long term is really good. So these all cash flow monthly but I’m more looking at the long game and increase in value. I am going to start being more selective of tenants. I have a bit of a soft heart and have a problem writhing giving people a chance who really don’t look great on paper- I have to stop doing that.
@YouCanDIYHome I was up to 5 at one point. But, had a job that kept me sometimes ip to 84 hrs a week. Was just too much at that time. So, i eventually sold them off. Thinking about doing it again though. Have normal 40 hr a week job now. So, should be far less stressed
Nice work. Don’t the cabinets need handles though?
@@ottobud the way they installed the cabinets, there is actually not clearance to open the drawers in the corners if they had handles. They just barely open past the side without pulls.
How much time did this take to refresh the kitchen?
It's a bit tough to say exactly because we ended up having significant repairs on the whole home. So for example, I did the flooring in the whole upper and main level rather than just focusing on the kitchen at once. I'd say the cleaning took a solid 3/4 day. Painting cabinets two days (not because of time of work but because of prime-let dry- coat of paint-let dry, etc). The epoxy is a two day process. But you could overlap some of the steps and get it done in 3 or 4 days if you were really hustling and just focusing on this space alone.
i like your pragmatism!
Thanks! Thanks for watching :)
Wow... some renters just show no respect at all.
You made the place beautiful again, but all that maintenance/repair, painting, tiling, marble-look counter, replacing flooring, replacing broken items, and Cleaning of SO MUCH FILTH is why I would NEVER own rental property, and the money you quoted does not account for all of your time and labor. I'm sure the renter was not given any of the deposit back, but there's also the potential of renters leaving owing back rent. Too many losses and too much trouble for me to even consider. I hope you raise the deposit after this (no matter what it is/was) and have renters sign an ironclad agreement to help minimize this kind of mess again. You may want to add a clause to an ironclad agreement that you have/reserve the right to inspect your property periodically, at your discretion, without notice. If they won't sign it, you probably don't need them. But that's me. Good luck and Happy New Year!
@@100vg I will send him to collections. So I won’t get it all back but I may eventually get some :)
@@YouCanDIYHome Best wishes that you get every penny possible.
