Hello. My husband and I are moving towards purchasing a two family home, which is currently being used as a one-family. We would like to use it as a two family, but we would need to add a kitchen to the rental unit. The current space has plumbing and gas hook-ups as well as built in cabinetry that we think is usable. The floors are in good shape. It lacks a stove, refrigerator, sink, and probably needs some counter space next to the sink. It also needs to be painted. We are trying to get an estimate of how much it would cost to finish out the kitchen with as much DIY as possible. How much did you spend on your rental kitchens? Is it possible to do this work for less than $10,000? Less than $6,000? Thanks for your input.
