Rehab houses for sale tips.
Think Tiny Home
The tiny home craze is expanding across the country. So, what makes tiny homes so fun? They maximize efficiency while utilizing small spaces. Homebuyers in Chicago love unique designs. So, while planning your distressed home rehab try to find fun ways to maximize space. For example, remove shelves that take up space and replace them with drawers, spice racks, or pull out racks. Fold-down tables in laundry rooms or offices and hidden storage space really attract buyers.
Cheap natural light
Modern homeowners are looking for natural light. But, adding windows and skylights can be costly when you are going after a quick fix and flip renovation in Chicago. One way to affordably modernize a home with natural light is to use light tubes in small areas like hallways and bathrooms. Light tubes are about the size of a standard scone and is placed between roof rafters to bring natural light into living spaces.
Design around your plumbing
Renovating a home in Chicago’s southside neighborhoods often means redesigning or moving entire rooms. When considering your space, try to leave plumbing where it is. For example, it is often cheaper to expand a bathroom by moving walls, rather than moving the plumbing to fit your design. Sure, change the sinks, put in new tile in the shower, but try to keep your plumbing in place as much as possible.
High-end look without the high-end cost
Wood floors are popular in Chicago southside and westside rehab homes for sale, especially older distressed fixer uppers for sale. While your rehab house may have wood floors, they may not be salvageable. That means you have a choice to replace the wood floors, or use other options. There are several more affordable options that replicate the look of hardwood floors but are not wood. Replacing your floors with laminates or vinyl planks are often a fraction of the cost of installing hardwood floors, easier to install, and a fraction of the cost.
Plan around reno around standard sizes
We’ve seen it hundreds of times where a Chicago, IL rehabber flipping a house for profit customizes things such as door size, wider stairs, and bigger non-standard windows. But sticking to standard sizes, you can save thousands of dollars in time, manufacture, and installation costs.
