Transformation Tuesday: From Outdated to Turnkey

Tue, May 27, 2025

6119 Rickwood Drive Northwest Before andAfter

At REI Nation, we turn potential into performance — and this week’s Transformation Tuesday brings us to 6119 Rickwood Drive Northwest in Huntsville, Alabama. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is 1,297 square feet, built in 1976, and now fully renovated and ready for a resident. It’s a strong investment option in one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast.

The Rehab Breakdown

With a final renovation budget of $39,500, our team focused on making updates that matter — improvements that help the home last longer, work better, and attract quality residents. Here are a few of the main updates:

  • New flooring for a clean, modern look that’s easy to maintain

  • Plumbing and electrical work to make sure everything runs smoothly

  • Garage repairs and new locks for better safety and use

  • Yard cleanup to improve curb appeal

  • HVAC repairs and roof maintenance to help reduce future costs

  • Tub and shower refinishing to keep bathrooms clean and functional

All updates were made with renters and long-term investors in mind — simple, smart improvements that support strong performance over time.
