Show Notes
David and Ryan sit down with Or Agassi to break down the renovation decisions that can make or break your deals. They cover how over-renovating eats into your margins, why understanding your buyer matters more than picking high-end finishes, and how to build a repeatable process that keeps your costs under control. Through real-world examples, they show how small decisions during a rehab can be the difference between a profitable deal and one that falls apart.
