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.
Enjoy!
3:26 - Why Renovating Is So Popular
7:02 - Renovation traps
10:08 - Become a 10 Year Renovator
14:12 - The 4X Growth Plan and how it relates to renovation decisions
25:08 - The 10/30 rule
31:26 - How to renovate using equity instead of cash
36:05 - Structural vs Cosmetic Renovation
49:11 - How To Start A Reno

I believe this is perhaps the final year to invest in property for the first time. The rising market is here, and if you don’t get into the market in 2021, you might be waiting a very long time.

Understanding today’s market has a marker all of us have never had before: COVID. From open homes being shut down during outbreaks to wild price rises in certain locations, understanding the market in 2021 is nuanced compared to other rising markets.
Where is Australia’s most undersupplied location? The answer may surprise. What’s up with the real estate FOMO? And how do we fix this supply issue? Oh and one more thing, I’m fundraising for love - yep, my friend Elle is looking for love and I’m going to play cupid and raise money for Room to Read at the same time!
2:16 - Fundraising for Love!
11:46 - FOMO is Everywhere
16:47 - Interest Rates v Rental Yield

I had to battle some big money shame demons growing up. I’ve since learnt that I wasn’t alone! Did you know most people feel ashamed about money and their financial status! Remember, no one is born knowing anything about money. Most of us get to our adult life with no comprehension about money. And that’s OK. Warren Buffet wasn’t extremely wealthy until his late 50s. If you’re hard on yourself around money and not recognising that it is a continuous learning process, your money muscles will remain small. This is a big conversation; I hope you enjoy.
Highlights include -
2:51 - Mental health and money shame
7:24 - The Australian and NZ financial classes
10:48 - I Am Sydney’s Chernobyl Boy
14:54 - Fights Don’t Solve Money Problems
22:28 - Conquering Money Shame
34:48 - Money muscle
