Wanting to start a reno but not sure where to begin?
It’s so enticing to renovate as soon as you buy an investment property - but if you choose well and think wisely, you’re better off waiting ten years and renovating with equity instead of cash.
Most people want to do a structural renovation on their home or IP, but often all that’s required is a cosmetic renovation. Unless you’re a professional renovator, structural renovation can be a major time and money blowout, not to mention the emotional investment!
On this episode I discuss the variety of renovating options available to you.
Also, I reference design logic - which has an episode all to itself on Episode 17 - The Secret Language of Real Estate.
