    Any advice on locations in Melbourne that I could do quick renno(face lift) and make a profit?
    Id like the property purchase to be under 420-430k so I’ll have 35k to renovate and 20k cash back up.
    I like Footscray West, Airport West and Braybrook. Hard to find in that price range tough.

    Any Ideas guys????
    Thanks

    A 10% margin seems very tight. How are you calculating that? Wouldn’t take much for it to go wrong.

    Go as far as you can see and you will see further.

    A good point, 10% doesn’t leave much room for error, delays, overrun budgets or the ability to negotiate down on price to secure an eventual sale. Just some food for thought.

    10% is min profit I pay myself, I’m going by the 135% rule from Steve’s book. So basically I add 35% on to the sale price of the property to see if feasible.
    If prop is $420000 then resale needs to be about $567000 leaving me with 12% approx. $50400. The 135% covers all costs including my fee of 12%.
    Sorry I didn’t explain myself.
    Thanks
