The matching pieces got mounted directly on the wall.. Ta-da!.

So you’ll forgive me if I have to give you two instalments of Scott rather than just one!.The first thing I asked him about was the kind of finishes you should choose when you’re renovating an income property.

Where should you go basic and where should you invest a little more?.Scott said that the first thing you need to remember is that Income Properties are homes, so they should be finished to be comfortable and enjoyable to live with.He suggests going with a little bit of a better quality on all your finishes and focus on durability, going with hardwood or tile over carpet for example.

If you do choose carpet, think about things like carpet tile, that can have just a small section replaced..He also made a great point about the kind of tenants you will attract.

Basically, a better finished space will attract better tenants, and make for a more enjoyable renting experience for everyone involved..

Since I now live in a small town, I wanted to know a little about how you might approach an income property differently in a small town versus the big city.I got the inspiration for this post when my friend Erica, recently shared a post like this.

It was encouraging and real and fun to read just like all of her posts are and I thought “Hey, I can do that!So even though I have an almost 9-year-old daughter and have been a mom for a long time, I find myself in the middle of all of this baby stuff again and it feels brand new all over again.

Plus, do you ever really feel like you’re a pro a being a mom?Curve balls are pretty much the name of the game with this gig, aren’t they?
