We all accept that life can be hard and very often isn’t fair but doesn’t it seem as though some people make it their life’s work to give you a hard time unnecessarily?
Yep we’ve been there. Every entrepreneur will experience bright ideas or new inventions hitting a brick wall of one form or another. Despite all the determination, ingenuity and effort mustered, most have to admit defeat after a bitter and exhausting struggle. Sometimes there will even be heartbreak, but the thing is to never give up
Sometimes, after working seven days a week, investing all one’s savings while living, eating and breathing a new business venture, you can reach the pinnacle of success, only to have your dream snuffed out.
You are not alone. Everybody in business seems to have a war story to tell. It happens far too often. It may have even happened to you. However, making substantial profits legally and quickly from home renovation is almost certain if you follow the correct guide lines. In fact, if you can afford to buy a house or unit, there are very real financial gains to be made from home renovation.
Even if you have to borrow heavily to purchase the property which will become your first project, you can make money. In fact, if you are in debt, that is all the more reason why you should do something more than plug away for 25, 30, 40 or even 50 years, eventually paying substantially more than the actual purchase price in volatile interest rates, bank fees, administration fees and any excuse your mortgagor can concoct to rip the most money from you.
The sooner you can eliminate that mortgage, the better. Perhaps you will have to go through the renovation process several times before you are debt free. However, when the day comes that you lift the mortgage millstone from your shoulders, you will enjoy a sense of freedom like no other. There is nothing like the realisation that you are on the way to very real wealth.
It doesn’t matter who you are, what your qualifications are, whether English is your second language, whether you know anything about real estate or not, what city or town you live in, what your religion is or whether in fact you have one. It doesn’t matter either whether you’re black, white, yellow or varying shades of those colours, as long as you are willing to read, comprehend, absorb and apply the information in these pages, you are almost certain to make money. How can we be so certain?
Here is a true life story.
A young policeman in New Zealand knew promotion nearly always meant a transfer to anywhere within the country. Luckily when his turn came, he jagged the idyllic holiday town of Nelson where property values were destined to rise dramatically.
Situated in Tasman Bay at the northern end of the South Island, Nelson lies directly above major earthquake fault lines. As a consequence, most of the town’s buildings are timber construction as this withstands the rocking and rolling motion of frequent earth tremors much better than permanent materials. Because the town has a beautiful climate, marvellous scenery, a relaxed, carefree lifestyle and is in close proximity to so many wonderful natural attractions, it is in great demand, both from retirees and those seeking to own a piece of paradise.
In the late 1970’s all this meant high house prices and a shortage of stock on the real estate market. Although he received an excellent price for his previous home, the policeman found himself in the predicament of being unable to afford anything he and his wife liked, unless they saddled themselves with a second mortgage. His answer? Start a second career as a part-time home renovator.
After choosing the suburb where they wanted to live, they looked around for house with renovation potential. The only home within their price range was little more than a holiday shack. Squeezing four children into its cramped rooms proved a challenge. Almost immediately after taking possession, the young copper removed several walls to create more space and incorporated what was an entry porch into the lounge area. After calling for quotes from three builders, he and his wife had another room added. In between working shifts the policeman did all the painting, wall papering and renovation work in addition to installing a swimming pool around which he constructed a spacious wooden deck.
Four years later, when the policeman’s family sold the house to make a move across the Tasman, they received twice what we’d paid for it!
Unfortunately, a few years later, having walked away from a failed marriage with nothing more than a 12 year-old car and the clothes on his back, the same man was fortunate enough to meet a beautiful lady who was at that time also in the throes of an acrimonious divorce. When that was settled, she received half the sale price of an average suburban home and some very tired furniture. For his part, the former New Zealand policeman had willingly bequeathed his share of the former home to his ex on the proviso she let him get on with his life.
Although neither his new wife nor he had any savings to speak of, they were both prepared to work and start over.
Their first renovation project together entailed taking out what was in those days a hefty mortgage over 25 years. They had no thoughts of selling the house and their sole intention was to make a home together and plug away at paying off the mortgage as quickly as their combined incomes would allow.
Although they knew little about real estate, they were lucky in that they purchased a property with potential and one that was situated close to transport and amenities. Like most people, they could not afford the type of home they desired, so they set about making the improvements themselves and raising it to their desired standard. Because they had a teenage daughter living at home, they thought a second bathroom would add value to the home and make their life easier. Also, the man’s new wife had been used to the luxury of a swimming pool. Because having a pool meant a better chance of keeping a troublesome teenager at home where they could keep an eye on her and her friends they decided to install a pool despite the additional financial burden.
