EP45: To Pool Or Not To Pool? That Is The Question!!!

There are indeed many things to consider when deciding on whether or not to buy a house with a pool, or install a pool in your existing home, or even if you should build a pool into a property you are developing for profit. If you’re doing it for yourself, is it something you grew up with and always wanted? Where you live may be a big determining factor. Having kids (of any age) may also be a considering factor and if you’re developing for profit, what does the buyer in that market actually want. Let’s dive into the chat with Rebeka shall we?

EP41: No I Don’t Want To Make A Profit From My Reno… Said No One Ever!!!!!!!

EP41: No I Don’t Want To Make A Profit From My Reno… Said No One Ever!!!!!!!

When developing for profit, it’s fair to say that the end game for a build or renovation is indeed the profit you can make from it at the end. The reality is we’re not just doing it for fun (although we think there’s a LOT of fun to be had along the way)! It’s hard work, takes a lot of time and planning and with the right research from the outset, hopefully a rewarding outcome when it’s all done and dusted!
