By now, if you have hooked up onto that, you would have received the fourth video, which has just gone out. The host of that program is Jane Slack-Smith, who joins me once again.<br \/>\nHi, Jane.<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 Hi, Kevin.<br \/>\n<b>Kevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Let\u2019s talk a little bit more about The Ultimate Guide to Renovation. Already whet the appetite of so many people with those great videos. Where are we at in the program? Is it too late to get involved?<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 No, we do open enrollments for a week only, so they do close hard and fast this Thursday night. People can still get involved.<br \/>\n<b>Kevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Okay. Now, what is involved? What can we expect to find inside the program?<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 There\u2019s so much. In actual fact, it\u2019s a 12-week online course, so the first six weeks, we spend so much time actually going through locating the right area that\u2019s fit for your buying criteria and actually understanding what your buying criteria is with the view of renovating.<br \/>\nThen in the last six weeks, it\u2019s the fun bit. We get into structural renovations, we get into cosmetic renovations, we get into buy-and-hold strategies, buy-and-flip strategies. It\u2019s a lot of fun.<br \/>\n<b>Kevin:<\/b>\u00a0 One of the key things behind all of this, of course, is the ability to create some extra value through renovation, to add value to a property.<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 Absolutely. There are so many properties throughout Australia that are ripe for renovation, but making money from them is a completely different story \u2013 and that\u2019s what we concentrate on.<br \/>\n<b>Kevin:<\/b>\u00a0 On the website, you\u2019ll find a link, because I think there is one final webinar coming up.<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 The final webinar will actually be on the 17<sup>th<\/sup> at 8:00 p.m., where we\u2019re talking to people. We\u2019ll be going through a lot of information and talking about where to buy and what to buy when looking for renovating properties.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s going to be really exciting, because the thing is that most people can spend their time, effort and money in renovating in the wrong areas and not making money and not knowing where the right areas are in a property to make money from renovating.<br \/>\n<b>Kevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Give us a bit of a sneak peek about some of your tips about creating that value through renovation. Where do we go wrong, and where do we go right?<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 I think there are the things that we can really create the \u201cwow\u201d effect on, everything from starting from the street appeal, because we know that we\u2019re going to get a first impression and you can\u2019t change a first impression. We want to look at the street appeal, and we really want to nail that.<br \/>\nOnce the people open up the front door and walk in, the kitchen and the bathroom are where you can add the most value. It\u2019s all about perceived value, not actual cost. I think that\u2019s the real difference where people can actually make money with a renovation.<br \/>\nBut there have been some trends in the recent past where I think people have invested in renovating in things like the media room, the outdoor room, the butler\u2019s pantry. These things are trendy, they look great on TV, but the reality is unless you\u2019re renovating for your own home and taste or maybe renovating to flip a property to the owner-occupied market, these could actually be a big waste of money.<br \/>\n<b>Kevin:<\/b>\u00a0 That\u2019s tremendous advice. I haven\u2019t heard that from anyone before about those, but you\u2019re right about those trendy things. When you think of the media rooms, they\u2019re very personal. What about the key rooms, the kitchen and the bathroom; are they still the big \u201cwow\u201d areas, Jane?<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 Absolutely. You can get it so right and you can get it so wrong with the kitchen and bathroom. We\u2019ve had students go through the course in the past who said, \u201cWe\u2019ve done 11 renovations. We were just about to rip out the kitchen, but we got in and saw what you did with painting tiles or replacing the bench top, etc. For a fraction of the cost, we were able to transform the kitchen to make it look like it was a brand-new kitchen.\u201d It\u2019s around that aspect of actually making money from your renovation that we really concentrate on.<br \/>\n<b>Kevin:<\/b>\u00a0 If you want to get the inside run if you\u2019re looking at doing some renovation, I strongly recommend you look at The Ultimate Guide to Renovation. Once again, the webinar is coming up a little bit later this week, the 17<sup>th<\/sup> of March. Is that when the enrollments will close, as well?<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 Absolutely. A hard-and-fast close for at least another six months because we really want to jump in. There\u2019s the private Facebook group and we have our group mentoring calls, as well. We really want to get people into the course and actually get some value out of it rather than being just another course that people buy. We\u2019re really going to concentrate, especially in the next 12 weeks, in taking people through that entire course and getting some real value out of it for them.<br \/>\n<b>Kevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Look for the button on the homepage at RealEstateTalk.com.au. Click on there, get in for the webinar, and don\u2019t miss The Ultimate Guide to Renovation.<br \/>\nJane Slack-Smith, thank you so much for your time.<br \/>\n<b>Jane:<\/b>\u00a0 Thank you, Kevin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In today&#8217;s show\u00a0Jane Slack-Smith gives us the renovation lowdown.
