I have always preached that if you are going to do a repair on your investment property, do it correctly. You don’t need to put in top notch materials, but do it right. When you skimp and try to get by with a cheap repair, you are always going to be back a second time.
As I tour Minnesota investment properties, I see some absolutely ridiculous repairs. I thought it would be fun to take pictures when I see these and we can all get a good laugh. I will keep this as a running topic.
Our maiden voyage comes to us in a South Minneapolis single family house. This is a picture of the vanity in the main bath of the house. I am not sure if the landlord just had this cabinet sitting around or got it cheap, but it extends into the tub almost 6 inches! Instead of buying the correct size, the landlord just cut the vanity around the tub!

Have you always wanted to buy investment property, but never knew where to start? Don’t Wait! Get Started now.

To funny! It probably gets wet and is blistering to boot. What were they thinking? I have a bathroom cabinet that does not match the marble top and they had to make the top drawer half the size inside to feet the bowl of the sink. It is beautiful shell shade marble sink and unless you open the drawer you never know.
