youtu.be
The speaker showcases their latest rental property and discusses the process of rehabbing a property. They emphasize the importance of knowing where to stop when rehabbing a property and tailoring the rehab to the end goal, whether it be flipping or renting. For rental properties, the focus should be on making it nice and clean but also maintenance-free to avoid frequent repairs.
The speaker takes us through the property, highlighting the importance of windows and doors in a rehab. They note that the windows in this property are updated vinyl windows, which is a good thing since windows can be expensive. The doors are also in good shape, so they plan to paint them and update the handles to make them look nice.
The speaker continues to discuss the rehab process of their rental property, emphasizing the importance of making changes that will reduce future maintenance costs and headaches. They showcase the luxury vinyl plank flooring and new baseboards throughout the property, which are standard in most of their rental properties. The biggest change is in the kitchen, where they added an island and pantry for more storage space.
The speaker concludes by discussing the doors, landscaping, and backyard. They note that they only painted the doors since they were in good shape, and they prefer simple slab doors. For landscaping, they like to keep it simple with either rock or black mulch to add curb appeal and make the property look nice. They avoid trees close to the house since tree roots can damage the foundation and sewer lateral lines.
Overall, the speaker emphasizes the importance of keeping finishes neutral to appeal to as many people as possible and avoid being too trendy. They use the same color paint and flooring throughout their rental properties to keep things simple and uniform. The speaker also discusses their approach to trash removal, preferring to fill up the garage with trash and do one or two hauls instead of using dumpsters, which can draw unwanted attention and cause issues with inspectors.
