Easiest Way to Update a Kitchen or Bath

When you are looking to do the most cost-effective repairs, where do you start? Typically, you will get the highest ROI from kitchen & bathroom remodeling. Those are the two favorite spots for every house! But what is a cost-effective way to make your home stand out?

First things first, what is your budget you are working with to remodel your home? Are you working with $1,000-$5,000 or more? If you are working with the smaller budget then the best thing to do is spruce up, not completely replace.
I would recommend painting your kitchen cabinets, replacing counters, & installing a backsplash. These are all things that you can do on your own that will transform the look of the kitchen!
I wouldn't go overboard with installing quartz or granite counters, I would just go with a nice looking laminate counter that costs $400-$600.

If you wanted to go the extra mile you could even install new flooring in those areas. Flooring is something that may take a professionals help, but normally in small areas, you can get by doing something for fairly cheap. We have had great luck with the luxury vinyl plank floors & that is what I would recommend anyone to do!

How to Give Tenants A Notice to Vacate - Appleton WI

If you are reading this article you probably own rental property in Appleton WI. As a landlord, it is a never-ending battle on figuring out how to properly give notice to your tenants. From first-hand experience I know what that feels like as we own income property in Appleton. So, in this article I am going to go over a brief summary on how to give tenants a notice to vacate.

How Much Notice Is Needed for Tenants

Depending upon what type of lease you have in place will dictate how you can give a tenant notice to vacate. Are they on an annual lease and locked in for another few months? Or, are they month to month? Tenants automatically go month to month when their lease expires. 

With a tenant who is on an annual lease you WILL NOT be able to give them notice to vacate until their lease expiration. Typically in this scenario you would provide them with a form (months in advance) that states you will not be renewing their lease. Please be curious & give your tenant time. 

On a month to month lease you need to provide at least 28 days written notice. However, if they are already partially through a rental period, you will need to wait till the end of the next period. An example of this is giving a notice to vacate on April 15th. You would provide them the notice on the 15th, but they wouldn't need to move out till May 28th. 

NOTE: Please speak with an attorney regarding the legalities of everything I am providing in this article. I am going off of personal experience & no information provided in fact, only a matter of opinion.
