Should You Remodel For Investors Or To Sell A Property?

Want your remodel to move the market instead of drain your budget? We dig into the investor mindset that turns outdated spaces into profitable listings, with Jeff Bass sharing the playbook he uses to balance cost, speed, and buyer appeal. From estate clean-ups to rental turns and flips, we break down where to spend, where to save, and how to plan so surprises don’t eat your margins.

We start by reframing decisions around return on investment: kitchens and bathrooms lead, but not with boutique choices that lag timelines and balloon costs. Jeff walks through value engineering that still looks premium—think LVP that reads like wood without the install drag, pre-finished cabinets that deliver a crisp look without the custom wait, and lighting and hardware upgrades that photograph beautifully. We talk selection discipline, ordering materials before demo wraps, and creating a finish schedule that keeps crews moving and avoids the standstill that tanks your ARV.

Then we tackle the pitfalls that stall profits: the “cheapest bid” trap, HGTV speed myths, and skipping contingencies for what’s behind the drywall. Jeff explains how a bulletproof scope and clear communication cadence cut change orders, and why treating your general contractor as a partner—not just a vendor—earns you better pricing, faster scheduling, and less stress on every project after the first. If you’re prepping to sell or planning your next flip, you’ll get a practical blueprint for finishes that sell, timelines that hold, and decisions driven by math, not ego.
