Hi all,

Just curious what others think, as we know renovations >20k (+ index) will need to have someone come and revalue the property.

So if this is the case shouldn’t you always aim to have >20k in renovations, either combining multiple smaller things or doing some bigger items but making sure it just barely crosses the threshold? Because you get additional equity attributed to you / lower the gov %.

So far I’ve done a solar upgrade which costed me 21k and added 20k in equity. And I’ve been just thinking for future upgrades if this is the way to do it.

Hi guys,

Is it a bad idea to say I want to switch SSLs if I’m getting promoted (A2-S1) this cycle?

I’m thinking get the promo first then around the 6 month mark discuss the possibility of moving ssl?

I’ve already worked with the snr mng in the ssl i want to move to on a few engagements and they seem to like me. So I don’t think it’ll be a difficult move for me.

I feel like I’ve already answered my own question lol
