3 years ago we built a retirement home by the lake. And moved. But we decided not to sell our family home of 34 years. But to rent it. Extra monthly income is nice.
And while our home was nice and needed no major repairs, it did need quite a lot to get it market ready.
New paint, new carpet in the bedrooms, getting rid of the popcorn ceilings, and more. All told - about $8,000 worth of cosmetic work.
When it was all done, it was so nice we wished we could stay. And maybe one day - we will move back “home”.
Popcorn ceilings. My home was built in 1999. It has popcorn ceilings. Never even thought that was a negative thing until about 10 years ago.
And now I think, why did they do popcorn ceilings in the first place?
