Sold HouseI came across the Realtor Magazine Online website yesterday, and found a short article about remodeling projects and how much each project affects the resale value.

It turns out that next to upgraded exterior siding, a bathroom remodeling project returns the most money on the investment (in fact, it actually returns a little more than you put into it).

Now that I think about it, my rental unit is in need of new siding, and according to the above chart, new siding would give me a 95% return on my money.  Not bad, and considering I bought the property well below market value, it could be money well spent should I decide to sell it.
