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.

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.
