So when I bought my first house it was the ugly duckling on the street and it was 1970s interior. We spent 5 years and $50,000 and turned it into a wonderful looking house that now gets offers from realestate agents regularly without solicitation on our part.
This will eventually become a rental property but for now it is the right amount of space for us and it has an enormous backyard. We put on a 21 x 14 deck as well!
Work included: New Kitchen, New Bathroom, Refinished 1940s solid redwood oak floors, paint, flooring, deck, new furnace, new plumbing, new electrical and new roof, new driveway and walkway. (All labour done by us where possible)
The house is now worth double what we paid for it only 5 years later!
Do you have similar experiences to share....
