I'm on a quest for learning about kitchen cabinets.
Yes, I've been renovating houses for a while as a real estate investor. I've been rehabbing houses which include gutting and rebuilding kitchens. Cost effective solutions for upgrading kitchens is one of the ways we as investors make money on flipping houses.
I've been relying on my contractors and investment partners to advise me about the best options for kitchen cabinets. I have seen that cabinets prices vary dramatically depending upon different factors such as number of cabinets, quality, and size.
The bid I got on a bank owned property for the kitchen renovation has been double of what I know it can be for the the particular house I'm rehabbing. I know the cost of the cabinets could be about 50% of what I'm hearing the contractors quoting.
So finally I have decided that it is time for me to learn about kitchen cabinets in greater detail.
My first stop has been to my local home improvement super store. I went to the kitchen section and found the isle where they sell kitchen cabinets in boxes. This is the perfect low cost solution for the type of house I'm goint to rehab for my latest renovation project.
I took wrote down information in my spiral notebook and took some pictures. I filled a page full of information on sizes and prices of cabinets. Armeed with this information, I'm now in the process of running the numbers for the cost of kitchen cabinets.
So far it appears that I'm right. I can buy the cabinets I need for my latest project for about half of the price contractors have been bidding on the job.
