When you do your first renovation, the last thing you want to do is to cut corners.

If you have a high paying job it sounds like you may need to focus on cutting some expenses.2) Depends on what your current mortgage rate and LTV is.

See if you can get a copy of The Millionnaire Real Estate Investor by Keller.The Slight Edge and Atomic Habits too.

Cutting corners to save time might seem like a good idea, but it can lead to expensive repairs later on.
