She Renovates

One of the most crucial things that renovators often overlook is establishing relationships. A good relationship with your team and the people you work with is vital to ensure a smooth and hassle-free renovation process.

In today's episode of She Renovates, we're back with Deb Levy to talk about their recently concluded renovation project. She discusses the most outstanding parts of the project, as well as the challenges they encountered during the renovation process. She also shares with us her thoughts on working with your family and how it has empowered them.

Check out the highlights of this podcast below and tune in to the episode for a more detailed discussion!

About Our Guest

Deb and Avi Levy formerly worked in the fashion trade until they reached a point where they were seeking for change and control over their lives. They took the leap of faith and decided to embark on renovating. Their first renovation project was their family home. Presently, they've concluded two successful renovation-for-profit projects.  

Case Study: Deb & Avi Gaining Confidence

• It's just a matter of rinse and repeat once you develop your mode of operating.
• Figure out your market and the process that works for you, and it will deliver results. 

Fitting the Project Into the Overall Strategy

• They transitioned from income in the rag trade to full-time renovating.
• Relying solely on innovation is exciting but scary at the same time.

Latest Reno Project

• The property was an apartment with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one undercover garage. The apartment is in an old block in Benelong Crescent, Bellevue Hill.
• They completely transformed the apartment except for the outside wall.
• The apartment has a roof deck overlooking the harbour and the golf course in Bellevue Hill. They managed to get down the walls to bring the roof deck into the apartment.
• The configurations of the bathroom and the bedroom stayed the same, but they took out all the existing cabinetry work.
• The apartment was already sold before they finished. Their real estate agent brought a couple to see the place while still under renovation, and the couple bought it.

Outstanding Parts of the Project

• The light factor induces a clean and modern vibe and has a great feeling to it. They maximized the light by putting glass balustrades in.
• The focal point of the living area: They took the wall out between the living room and the stairs to create an open plan.
• They also put a window between the kitchen and the staircase to bring light into the kitchen.

The Value of Working With Your Agent From Day One

• The type of property that you get is critical.
• A real estate agent is an essential person in the decision-making process.
• Develop a relationship with your agent before you start the renovation. It's ideal for deal flow.
• When they were starting, Deb and Avi thought that they would be able to find the right property, but they didn't. 
• Working with a superstar buyers agent, Amanda Gould of High Spec Property, got them the property they were looking for. They've been working with her ever since.

Challenges in the Project

• The biggest issue: Their private certifier switched jobs while they were doing the project. And so, they were not able to secure an occupation certificate.
• They had to call the council to get a building certificate after they've completed the work. Fortunately, after a few weeks of switching around, it all went well.

Project Duration and Standout Products

• They started in June 2019, and they finished the project in November 2019.
• They worked with a great cabinetmaker who did a beautiful job for this project. 
• The furniture has a blank canvas so the buyers can put a piece of themselves when they move in.
• The LED light over the bench in the kitchen

Purchase and Selling Price

• The purchase price was $1,165,000.
• For the overall expenses and fees for the renovation, the total amount spent was $250,000.
• They sold the property for $1,650,000. In total, they made a profit of $235,000.

Renovation and Empowerment

• For Deb, it was empowering as a woman to have generated that amount while working with her husband.
• They have both become more confident in making plans and decisions.
• When renovating becomes your business, it draws in the whole family and cultivates an entrepreneurial spirit.

In every renovation project, you need to be fully aware of the constraints you need to work around on during the actual renovation. This is where smart and sharp planning comes into action.

In today’s episode of She Renovates, we’re chatting with my son and registered architect David Janson from Collins and Turner. He’s here to discuss our recent reno project on the apartment he bought as a deceased estate. He talks in detail about the changes he made in the apartment and how it increased its property value.

This episode lets you take a look at the planning and implementation processes in a renovation. Check out the podcast highlights below, and tune in to the show for all the details!

About Our Guest

David Janson is a registered architect in New South Wales. He is a project architect at Collins and Turner Architects in Barangaroo, Sydney. He is responsible for the detail design and delivery of high-profile projects in public, medical, and education sectors. Some of David’s projects include the multi-award winning Barangaroo House, Barangaroo Early Learning Centre, and the Centennial Park Discovery Centre.

The Avocado Smash Strategy Bondi Project The Scope of the Renovation

• David bought the apartment as a deceased estate. It was a two-bedroom apartment with one bathroom.
• Other than cosmetic renovation, the plan is to turn it into a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment or two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one en suite, add a walk-in to the master suite, and open the kitchen up.
• The property purchase was AUD 984,000.

Satisfaction From Doing Your Own Project

• Doing the renovation for yourself is not so different from doing a project for a client.
• However, it can be difficult when it comes to decision-making because you don’t have a client as your sounding board.
• It’s a tough balance to give the property a unique edge while also trying to implement broad appeal. You will only know if you’ve reached that balance once you get market feedback.

The Vision for the Bathroom

• The vision for the bathroom is to have an immersive, beachside feel to it.
• He wanted it to feel as if you were bathing in the saturation of very light, subtle colour.
• They would rarely go for a glass tile, but with the hand press tile, the gloss gives it an interesting reflection of light and a rippling effect across the wall.
• The tile needed to have a wavy edge.
• The terrazzo floor tiles played well in achieving a soft sea grain effect. A $60 terrazzo imitation doesn’t give you the authentic feeling. 

Challenges

• The ceiling height of the bathroom is 2.47 meters. You have to drop it to make way for plumbing.
• They dropped the ceiling in the rest of the apartment by 50 millimetres to overcome the vermiculite.
• The biggest challenge was to reach the 2.1m compliant bathroom. 
• Through the help of a good plumber, they manage to locate the services close to where the riser was.
• David wanted to retile the balcony, but it wasn’t possible because it didn’t have a non-climbable zone.

Property Value

• Adding an extra bathroom would add value to the property, and it made it more flexible.
• It is also a massive safety net, according to David, because it’s uncomparable to other sales in the building after the renovation.

Budget

• The smaller budget for the project wasn’t challenging for David. Design is about being strategic with the way you spend your money.
• Creativity comes from the constraints.
• The three big-ticket items: the structural works, the ceiling, and the engineered floor.

Favourite Products from the Project

• Terrazzo from Surface Gallery
• Dark mirror splashback

Paint

• The flat paint gives the room a soft feel to it; it’s aesthetically in terms of the feeling of the space.

The Reno Procedure

• If you want to make your renovation easy, you need to build relationships with other owners.
• There were a lot of questions around the plumbing, even after providing a certification that it was safe.
• He had to get a CDC compliant development certificate because he was reconfiguring the format of the rooms.
• You have to get all the documents together for a smoother process.

Project Auction

• The project got a record price, and the property was sold for AUD 1.32 million.

While you're in your cubicle for your 9 to 5 job, you have this mental picture of switching out your heels to steel cap boots. Imagine spending your days designing floor plans, selecting tiles and paint colours—actually working on something you love and which inspires you. Wouldn't it be nice to escape from the grasps of the 9 to 5?

In today's episode of She Renovates, we will talk about the steps you need to take when you make the switch from your 9–5 job towards reno heaven. We cover topics from generating income and financing your project to the strategies you need to incorporate in your projects.  

Check out the highlights of the episode below, and make sure to listen to the whole podcast for the specifics!

Planning Your Escape from 9–5 to Reno Heaven Reasons Why People Escape From 9–5

• They don't want to go to their day job.
• Instead, they want to renovate.
• They want the big paycheck.

Planning Your Life

• Know how much money you need to support the life you want.
• Know where to allocate your time in this restructured life. 
• Build a robust financial framework.

Prepare for Challenges

• You'll fall off the ground when challenging times come, and you're not prepared.
• Figure out what gets between your needs and your wants.
• Maintain your focus.
• One of the things that women often find challenging is negotiating.

Financing Your Reno Journey

• Assess your living expenses. Do your first couple of projects while you're still working, and then gradually scale down slowly. 
• Once you're generating money consistently, then you can phase the day job out completely.

Increasing Your Income

• Work more hours
• Get an extra job
• Team up with a joint venture partner for loan
• Try a finance deal

Property Purchasing

• LVR or Loan Value Ratio is the value of the loan to the value of the property that you're purchasing.
• If you have an 80% LVR, it means that the loan is 80% of the property price.
• And so, you need a 20% deposit. But with the deposit and the other costs, you will need a minimum of 30% to 40% of the property value.
• If your costs are higher, you may end up with a lenders mortgage insurance.
• Lenders mortgage insurance insures the lender or the institution, not you.
• Have a line of credit set up against another property.

Setting Your Reno Strategy

• Aside from flipping, consider incorporating a reno to hold a strategy to build long-term wealth.
• The type of strategy you choose depends on your location, your time availability, and your budget.
• Limit your reno project to at least two projects a year. Even a short 12-week project takes around six months to get in and get out. 

The Support Team

• Finance
• Property accountant
• Legal representative as a conveyancer or lawyer
• Reno-savvy buyers agent
• A good builder
• Trades team
• Surveyor
• Engineer
• Ancillary people

Operating System

• It covers the project documentation, where to spend the budget, trades management, materials to be used, and managing the timeline, among others. It covers every aspect of the reno from the beginning.

One of the most common complaints of renovators is not getting a good tradesperson. It is crucial to get a tradesperson who is in sync with your vision because your renovation success relies on them—the trades team is your ticket to glory. However, it really can be a challenge to find trades that can do good work within the constraints of a tight budget.

In today’s episode, I will walk you down the process of finding and working with a reliable tradesperson. We’ll cover the characteristics of a competent tradesperson, how to handle your trades, where to find steady trades, the role of the document package, and how you can keep your tradespeople happy.

Check out these podcast highlights below, and make sure that you tune in to show for the specifics of finding a reliable trade.

  How To Find Reliable Trades The Characteristics of a Good Tradesperson

• Someone who gets in and gets out quickly and gets a good job done promptly and efficiently
• Someone courteous
• Someone whom you enjoy working with
• Someone who works clean and would not leave you to clean up
• Someone who's going to turn up as scheduled
• Someone who does quality work, is reliable and will push the envelope for you
• Someone who’s going to prioritise your work

Handling Your Trades

• Teach your tradesperson on how to treat you.
• One-strike rule: If they do not turn up or do not inform you of their absences, don’t pursue them. Let them know what’s acceptable and what’s not.
• Look at their point of view as well. There needs to be a give and take in the relationship.
• You need to be an excellent communicator.
• Do your due diligence and make sure that they’re going to meet your criteria before you engage them.

Finding Reliable Trades

• Word of mouth
• Local trades
• Home improvement pages

Document Package

• It lets them know what’s involved in the job.
• You get an opportunity to fit down your expectations of them. You’ll get the feel of how it would be like working with them, and you’ll get feedback from them as well.
• You come across as very professional, which also helps with finding the right trades.
• You will be able to fit down the timeframe for the project in that document package.

The Process

• Put together the document package.
• Have a meeting with your people and talk them through the project.
• Give them a timeframe to quote on and wait for the quotes to come in.
• Sort them in order of price. Watch out for the duds.
• Do your due diligence.
• Make your selection and appoint the trade.
• Sign a contract and pay a deposit.
• Make sure that the deposit you pay is a legal amount.

Keeping Your Trades Happy

• Look after them.
• Communicate well and keep them posted on progress.
• Monitor supplies and make sure that you’ve got the supplies available on time as well.

Property investment can be a good way to get more income. However, it might get complicated once you strategize to improve your investor’s portfolio. While there are a couple of strategies that significantly helped others, these may not have the same effect for everyone else. These strategies might also be detrimental to your business.

In today’s episode, She Renovates guest Jo Vadillo of the Property Women and Advocate Property Services will share her tips on how to get a presentable portfolio. We will also talk about how to prevent a woman investor's property from being taken advantage of and sabotaged.

Check out the podcast highlights below, and make sure to listen to the whole podcast for a more detailed discussion!

About Our Guest

Jo Vadillo is one of the founders of Advocate Property Services, providing professional Buyers’ Agent services in Syndey for developers, homeowners, and investors. She also established Property Women, which helps women achieve financial independence through different property strategies.

How Women’s Attempts to Build Wealth Through Property Can Be Sabotaged Common Mistakes in Property Investing

• Some investors would look to other people's successes, and they try to replicate them, thinking that this strategy might also work for them.
• Another mistake is that some investors would invest in a property that doesn’t suit their profile, budget, abilities, among others.
• Jo says not to put too much pressure on yourself and make sure the strategy you’re using matches your phase of life and the situation of today’s market.

Matching Your Needs to Your Portfolio

• When building your portfolio, make sure that you create different strategies that would take your circumstances into account.
• Diversify your portfolio, and don’t use the same strategy over again.
• It is also essential that you educate yourself with the nature of investments and how can you make your cash flow.

Sabotaging Ideas

• Some women would ask for other's opinions who have zero knowledge about property investment because they still lack confidence in themselves despite research.
• Jo's philosophy: "If I weren't willing to put my money into a deal, I wouldn't be promoting to anybody else in a heartbeat."
• Be confident. If you are still hesitant with your plan, ask people who have done it before or who have a decent portfolio. 

Children Bled Dry By Parents

• Jo says to put your child into a habit of saving or putting away a percentage of their income.
• It is essential to teach children at a very young age to be money-savvy and not to spend money on unnecessary things.

Another decade has passed but it doesn’t mean “the end”. We are standing once again on the threshold of another journey. Are there things you’ve been wanting to leverage but haven’t been able to do? You might not have started yet for various reasons but that’s why we’re here. Let me share with you some tips for ensuring an epic year.

Today, we will be discussing five steps that will ensure an epic 2020. This episode is for everybody who has long been wanting to renovate their property but hasn’t been able to start - yet. Let those accomplishments come to life by following this comprehensive guide. What are you waiting for? Hop on, tune in, and renovate your life.

 

How To Have An Epic 2020

 

Step Number 1: Focus

• Make a decision, create a clear goal, give it your full attention.
• Social media sites play a big role in keeping you on the side. They distract you from what you’re doing.
• Social media is a bright, shiny object that distracts you from what you’re trying to do.
• Focus on what you’re planning to do and block out everything else to start getting traction.
• Focus is a muscle that you can strengthen with daily practices like “quieting the mind”.
• Do daily meditation even if it’s just five minutes, to get your mind settled and be able to focus on the thing you’re working on.
• Try using apps like Headspace or Brain FM.
• Get daily exercise to allow yourself to think and develop a plan in your mind.
• Keep your goals visible.
• If you want to achieve a result for something you find really challenging, put effort into it and create a structure.

 

Step Number 2: Adjust Your Mindset/Create A Story That Empowers You

• The same old thinking will produce the same results.
• A negative story in the back of your head is undermining your ability to achieve what you want to do.
• Whatever your flavour of negativity is, shut it out or it will ruin your life.
• Your success is undermined by constantly thinking negative thoughts.
• Create a story that empowers you.
• Be careful what you think because it will impact the results you get.
• Instead of saying “I don’t know where to start”, say “I’m going to find out where I need to start.”

 

Step Number 3: Build A Strategic Plan Towards The Outcome You Want To Achieve

• Know the difference between a plan and a strategic plan.
• If you’re planning to do your first renovation, there are a few elements you need to consider for your strategic plan.
• • #1 Element: How am I going to fund my project?
  • #2 Element: What area of renovation am I going to choose?
  • #3 Element: What type of strategy am I going to use?
• Once you’ve sorted that out, the next thing to do is take action.
• When thinking about action, put this acronym in mind: ACT(Action Changes Things).
• Get onto the court and take action. Don’t be paralysed by fear or the whole exercise will be futile.

 

Step Number 4: Build A Support Team

• Have a support team that understands you and what you’re trying to achieve.
• While family and friends love you, they may not be your best support team.
• Surround yourself with people who will be there to pick you up if you fall down slightly.
• You will definitely make mistakes but be sure to make the right mistakes.
• The role of your support team is to make sure you are on the right path.

 

Step Number 5: Review Your Work After Completion

• This is an important step that most people tend to skip.
• This is important because this gives you the opportunity to tweak your process and refine it, then improve.
