Four Questions to Ask Yourself Before Renovating Your Bathroom

During our incredibly long tenure as accomplished real estate investors, we have successfully completed three bathroom renovations. One of those three was a brand new bathroom that we basically resurrected out of the earth's crust with our bare hands (not a big deal). And oh, by the way, we have two more bathroom renovations well underway at AP worldwide HQ 2.0. That puts our total renovated bathroom count at five, people, which by my standards is more than enough to qualify us as subject matter experts.

It's only right for us to share our wealth of knowledge and experience with our followers. So whether you are the aspiring investor wondering how best to renovate your bathroom, the current homeowner who's bathroom needs updating or just someone who likes reading random real estate blogs, this list is for you...

1. Hire It Out vs. DIY?

This one will be fairly easy to answer for most people, but for some maybe not. If you have absolutely no experience with renovations or any desire to gain some experience, you are likely going to hire the whole project out. However, you will still have to make some critical decisions on how you want your renovated bathroom to look. Obviously the more you hire out, the higher the overall renovation cost. But if you can afford it and don't want to waste any time, then by all means go ahead. My only advice would be to go with someone you know and trust so that there aren't any surprises throughout the process.

Now on the other hand, if you are someone that likes a challenge and doesn't mind putting in some sweat equity then I say go for it. You can learn anything on the internet today... trust me... anything. So with a little motivation and some self-education, you could be lookin like this kid in no time.
