As I continue to chronicle my recent duplex/investment property remodel (see various blogs from the blogroll on the right side of the page starting the first of August ’09), I love sharing some great finds! This investment property is located between the hip North Mississippi neighborhood and the transitioning North Williams corridor in Portland, Oregon. My goal is to have the property look as nice as possible (in hopes of attracting great renters who will appreciate the work) without over-spending the budget. I “guesstimated” around $20k in upgrades as I was initially “running the numbers” on the purchase. So, we’ll see how close it comes! There is always the “unexpected” on such a project!
One great find was the “Restore for Habitat for Humanity”! There’s one in Portland located at 66 SE Morrison and one across the river at 5000 E 4rth Plain in Vancouver. Many local companies and contractors AND individuals donate leftover tile, carpeting, wood trim, cabinet hardware, lighting, appliances, sinks, toilets, paint and more. It keeps these items out of our landfills AND allows budget-conscious “scroungers” like myself to search for discounted remnants for smaller jobs. The tile in the duplex kitchen in the upper right photo was found at the Restore in Vancouver! And, thanks to Moses Beltran for the excellent tile work!!!
