Cherie Barber – Renovating for Profit

In November 2016, I was able to attend a 3 day Renovating for Profit workshop in Sydney, NSW run by none other than Cherie Barber – Australia’s renovation queen!!

Information covered topics such as:

• determining what strategy was going to be the most effective
• what changes could be completed as part of a cosmetic renovation that would not require council approval
• what style of home was most suited to a cosmetic renovation
• the time frames that should be allowed in which to undertake a cosmetic renovation
• how to determine what purchase price should be offered in order to drive a good profit
• tips on the most effective changes to make in order to gain the optimum return
• tips on styling
• an overview of building and planning regulations
• how to drive a project plan
• managing and mitigating risk on a project
• the importance of mindset

Since undertaking this workshop, I have completed a successful renovation of an investment property in Pakenham, Vic and a number of other small projects.
