I keep quite a few rolls around the house and always stock up when I’m in a dollar store.
The last thing Scott wants you to think about for your future income property is space planning.He sometimes sees people eliminate things like a laundry room, or a dishwasher in a space to create more room or to save money on having to invest in those appliances.
Sure, you might not be able to charge a whole lot more for having those things, but it all goes back to what Scott told us last time: Income properties are still homes.Having these conveniences available for your future tenants will get your place rented a whole lot quicker and it will keep good renters around for the long run.It’s a win/win situation!.
I hope you enjoyed this little two part series with Scott McGillivray as much as I did and you feel maybe just a little more knowledgeable about what it takes to set up a successful income property of your own.. Don’t forget to watch Income Property on HGTV every Thursday at 9 pm EST!.Read Part 1 of my chat with Scott McGillivray as well!I recently had the chance to try out these really neat DIY cornice kits from The Cornice Store.. First of all, let me tell you: This was pure fate.
Serendipity of the window coverings!.
I had been planning to make my own cornices for the kitchen.A lot of the time when people tackle the job of painting a room, they just do the main part of the wall and leave everything else as-is.
Sometimes they’ll do the trim too if it’s looking really grubby, but a lot of us leave the ceilings off the of to-do list until they’re looking really shabby.. Like this.. Or this.. Yup.Those are pictures of some of the ceilings in our old house, thanks to the passage of time and a very leaky roof.
Thankfully we had a new metal roof put in last Spring, so now leaks are a thing of the past.By the way, I feel like I should talk about the roof at some point.
