I bought my current house because it was a good deal and it has a basement apartment that generates income. It's pretty dated inside and the previous tenants were not clean people. It needs work.
This is not my forever home. After my son gradates highschool (3 more years) I don't have to stay in the state anymore. I don't like my current town.
With that timeframe in mind, what home renovations get the most bang for your buck when selling? What decreases value?
For instance, I'm looking at countertops right now. The laminate ones I have are dated and in bad shape. There's a huge gap between laminate and granite. Are solid surface a good compromise, or a turn off?
