From Cat Pee to Cashflow: The 10pm Reno That Made $300k⎥Ep. 2299
How does a DIY builder go from late-night renos to becoming a lifestyle investor with a cash-flowing minor dwelling?
In this Case Study Sunday, Ed and Andrew sit down with Lawrence from Auckland to unpack his journey – from gutting a smelly two-bedroom “dump” to building a family home, navigating bridging finance, and eventually adding a two-bedroom unit in his own backyard.
You’ll learn:
- How Lawrence turned a $400k do-up into nearly $700k in just a few years
- What it’s really like to sell a home yourself vs using an agent
- How the “build in your backyard” strategy works
This episode shows what’s possible when you back yourself, stay hands-on, and keep moving toward your next project.
