To do a renovation will involve buying and spending on materials so you will not be able to do this with no money.If you have time you could source an investment deal by negotiating a great below market value price and an investor could pay you for securing it. a couple of these could see you with enough money to start refurbishing.

Is there anyway you could share your source over a DM?
