RENOVATING FOR PROFIT COLYTON RENOVATION ENTIRE HOUSE - COSMETIC RENO Homeowners, Janet and Fred bought this western Sydney home not too long ago, with the aim of building a property portfolio for long term wealth accumulation. The couple deliberately bought an “unrenovated” property so they could renovate it and add instant equity to the property. On completion of the renovation, they hope to attract permanent tenants who will pay the bulk of their mortgage costs moving forward. While Janet & Fred have a solid investment strategy in place, they have very limited experience when it comes to renovating. With their limited budget too, they’re worried about making novice mistakes that will see unnecessary money fly out the door. As such, they sought the professional help of Cherie Barber so she can offer her expert opinion on cosmetic renovations to low budget properties.
