A good rule of thumb is to not spend more than 10% of the propertys value on renos.For every dollar you spend you should get at least $2 back. Market research is the key, Amanda is right. Look at what other similar propertys in the area are selling for(not the asking price)renovated and unrenovated and know exactly what you can expect…[Read more]
