House rehabbers regard bathrooms as one of the most important areas. They spend a significant portion of the rehab budget in this part of the house. After all, baths can often make or break home sales. That is why a lot of investors who are into the flipping property business procrastinate when making bathroom upgrades. To get some ideas, here are some simple bathroom improvements you can do.

1. Remember those little details. Perhaps one of the simplest but most effective bang for buck repairs is installing a tower bar and bathrobe hooks. Towel bars and hooks are very cheap and come in a variety of models. They are also very easy to install, often needing just a set of screws. Small details like these are actually very helpful when flipping properties.
2. Rock it with a towel rack. If you don’t like the plastic towel bars, you can always go for vintage-inspired wooden racks. Ask your carpenter to build you one, or if you have the skills, you can DIY it. Be sure the rack is made from smooth and clean wood. Finish it with nice clean paint. You must never run out of “recycling” ideas when flipping properties because they save you time and money.
3. Great bathrooms have nice medicine cabinets. When flipping properties, you need not use fancy, over-the-top models. A simple but refinished cabinet will do. You can even use second hand furniture from thrift and architecture salvage shops. The medicine cabinet is a sign of organization within the room and home buyers love organized bathrooms – most often because their existing bathroom is a mess.
4. Dress it up with a vanity. If space allows it, you can install a dresser vanity. Also, do this if you won’t need too much plumbing. For instance, if there are existing pipes on one wall, you can use them to supply water for the faucet on that vanity. You can even use an old-school approach to this. If you have a vintage dresser, you can convert it into a bathroom dresser vanity y replacing the top with stone or other water-proof material and drilling some holes to make way for the pipes. You have to be creative when flipping houses, right?
5. Kick that old faucet out. It’s standard to replace all faucets, shower heads, and handles when rehabbing bathrooms. Like towel bars and bathrobe hooks, these are very cheap pieces that greatly affect the overall appeal of a bathroom. The shinier, the better. Replacing a bathroom faucet also does not require too much skill so you can actually assist your plumber in doing this. Make sure though that your choices fit the appeal of the room. If you’re going modern, go for modern designs.
6. Serve the soap dish right. Here at Rehab Real Estate, we can seem to get enough of minute details. So, here’s the last tiny detail you shouldn’t forget. Remember to install a soap dish if the wall does not have an enclave for it. It’s cheap, it’s simple to install, and it’s effective.

Remember these simple upgrades before you start procrastinating on your flipping property business. When flipping properties, stay focused on the rehab job and don’t give in to pressure. Happy rehabbing!
