That's a good idea.
Do you use any "easy to use" interior design software like this in your project management work?
If there is cost efficient option out there, we'd be interested to have a look.

Thanks for the advice mate.
We have realestateinvestar.com access, so will pull our recent sales data (within 6mths) from that for the comparative sales of renovated properties in the suburb that we're looking. What we'll do is look at probably starting with a search for comparable renovated houses within a 2km radius (from the house we…[Read more]

Brokers reasoning behind why he said banks would never lend funds for a 1st time renovation were just that he said they'd perceive me as too high a risk. Unsure of whether he was driving me to make a decision that would benefit him more than me? Will never know I guess.

Thanks very much for your advice. 

Many successful renovators have told us now "it's all about the numbers". So we are starting the phase of finding a suburb/area where the numbers will actually work. 

Have signed up to the propertymeeting.com.au site, so look forward to the next meeting in Perth which is "coming soon".

Do you have his details? Will grab a quote off him for our project.
Will be looking for a good property lawyer in Perth ourselves.
As for mortgage broker – we'll plan to go with Richard Taylor. QLD007 on this forum. He's QLD based, but it doesn't really matter where your mortgage broker is. Cheers.

Didn't think it would be that difficult.
Seems what I am suggesting (i.e.an  "as if complete" valuation) is an "ideal". I've also learnt that apparently even after having provided an "as if complete" valuation (if I can get them to commit to one) a valuer may still re-neg on it at the point where the reno is done and…[Read more]

You're right there really are not many resources available that step you through the process of subdivision (a market for educating perhaps?). In saying that though as you've highlighted before, it can differ greatly between states and even  councils within a state.

I agree – for a more advanced renovation you would be looking at more than a 10% overall cost allocation! It would also depend what profit margin you are happy to get at the other end as well wouldn't it. i.e. if you spend over the point at which you are adding value to the end property you are going to be eating into your…[Read more]

We are embarking on our first renovation next year, but have learnt that 10% for a cosmetic renovation (interior & exterior paint,kitchen,bathroom,general tidy up) is a reasonable figure to use.
