Renovating our Homes as First-Time Buyers
In this episode, Steph and Kristina talk all about their experiences renovating their first homes. With the mindset of "YouTube is your friend," Steph and Kristina learned a lot through their individual experiences!
Kristina’s first (and current) home needed a LOT of work to be livable, and she talks about how she managed the upgrades on a tight budget. Meanwhile, Steph tackled her very first renovation with the help of her mom. They slept in the middle of a construction zone over the summer to get it done, but the pay-off was so worth it!
Both Steph and Kristina used their renovations to leverage a better investment. Steph’s first home is now an Airbnb property which generates passive income, and Kristina was able to cash-out refinance her first home to invest in a vacation property with her sister (which also generates passive income through Airbnb)!
