"Undertaking a renovation can be a pleasant and rewarding experience, however, renovators need to plan well ahead to avoid unexpected costs blow outs that can leave people being caught half way in a renovation being forced to borrow extra money, usually by increasing the mortgage and subsequent long term debt."
The Making Money on Renovation Workshop will trace the steps that renovators need to take to maximise the return and avoid problems.
