There are certain key
areas that homeowners. can
invest improvements in to
obtain the maximum return
for their dollars investment.
One key area, which is the
most expensive in the house
is the kitchen.

Conservative estimates‘are*
that renovations should”
produce a 30 per cent return
on investment. It is possible _
to get a one hundred per
cent return in the current
market. Houses with an

Starting to think of
