Keeping your Largo property’s appeal high can be a challenge for a single-family rental property investor on a budget. There are, however, many inexpensive materials now that are available for the upgrade needs of your rental home. Some of the best budget-friendly materials for your Largo rental homes are wood, stone, or tile. Here, we have listed more options for you.
Reclaimed Wood
There are a few materials that can evoke a feeling of warmth and comfort like wood. But new hardwood is expensive. Reclaimed wood is a cheaper alternative that will definitely not make your property look cheap! Reclaimed woods are great budget-friendly materials for property investors because you can use them for remodeling floors, fences, and decks or adding even more creative decorative elements. Achieve that beach house or cabin feel with the weathered, rustic look of reclaimed wood. If you want a colorful or a more contemporary look, you can also refinish, stain, or paint it.
Bamboo
Most commonly used in tropical countries, bamboo is a beautiful & environmentally-friendly material. Bamboo rods or sheets are usually very affordable. You can use bamboo on interior walls, patio bars, planter beds, lightweight fencing, and more. It will make your room or yard more beautiful.
Ceramic or Porcelain Tiles
Using ceramic or porcelain tiles can help stretch your remodeling budget. Ceramic tiles come in many styles, colors, and finishes that can give you a lot of fun combinations for the kitchen and bath. While natural stone tiles can get expensive and are high-maintenance, ceramic or porcelain tiles are fairly easy to maintain. A tile countertop will look far better than laminate for about the same cost.
Solid Surface Countertops
Get that high-end look of expensive countertops with ones with solid surfaces. You can get the same look of real granite at a much lesser cost. Solid surface countertops also come in many colors and finish giving investment property owners like you a lot of choices.
Used Brick
Use used bricks as you would use reclaimed wood in your rental properties. Used brick, with its weathered look, can even be more attractive than new brick. You can also use painted brick for a splash of color. You can use brick to update accent walls, patios, walkways, and of course, chimneys and fireplace surround.
Stone Veneers
You can also use stone veneers if you prefer the look of natural stone. Stone veneers come conveniently pre-installed on wood or concrete backing. Stone veneer panels are usually used for fireplace surrounds, exteriors, and even retaining walls. The price of stone veneers will depend on the style and size you want and they can give your Largo rental property an instant facelift without the weight and expense.
