• Hey there! I'm based in Atlanta. My cousin recommended this site to me becasue I am looking to renovate my mom's rental house that I live in and I want to make sure I get the most bang for my buck. Currently looking to tear off previous living room addition and turn it into a Master bedroom suite. Would love any advice on making the most on 1,500 SF renovations. House is currently 3 bedrooms 1.5 bath. Thanks!

Hey Erin, welcome! I'd say the biggest thing is not to "over" renovate. Depending on your area and your end buyer, it may not be "worth it" to make things really nice. Take a look at comps in the neighborhood and try to match them in quality. 

It may be "simple" or "obvious" but this is where I see flippers going wrong the most often once they already have the property. Over renovating is tough to come back from, because you've already spent the money and the market is what it is
