after renovation. Cost is 36k. Furnishing/Furniture maybe around 8k. Third time we worked with our Reno contractor. First time was like 16 years ago...

We tore up the dry kitchen to convert it to a study.

Redid the wet kitchen to add in oven, granite top.

Bedrooms did minor stuff like add bed frame, study table.

Living did simple panelling. 

Painting, plus light box.

Pics taken by me 🙂

Yup tenant moving in end of the month. We wanted to do something simple like 20k, but sort of did more and more. 
we kind of think renovation as Long as done normally, nothing too weird, should retain value. Hopefully the tenant take care of our stuff.

Actually before renovation quite good already

With furnishing? I hope the tenant signed a 2 years lease.

Is that entering through the door?

Actually decent price for the work. Looks very nice!

My sister came to see my Reno and I told her it cost as much as her sofa 🙂 

we bought everything cheap. Our sofa is full leather but cost only $1.6k I think, display set. 
 

I thought it is really surprising how cheap or expensive u can do it...

Usually if no kids, things would upkeep better. Japanese couple working in sg? Hopefully nothing much change to their job here for the next 2 years?!

Nice renovation! Initially I thought you had done up the place for own stay until I read further. How much does the monthly rental improve with the renovation if I may ask, though I understand that there may be multiple factors in play?

I got it rented out at 5.3k/month. Previous rental was $5k but I suspect I will get only $4.3k if I don't do anything. 

Assuming it is 1k delta, the money should pay off in 40 months? 3 years. At the end of 3 years, I end up with a place that is renovated 3 years ago vs a place that is 17 years old.

I THINK the maths work out. We are quite house proud kind of people so we like to do it up nicely. Hopefully, you can attract the same kind of house proud tenant who will treat your place nicely too.
