Purchased in March 2016 by Cosmetic Renovations For Profit graduate Virginie, this freestanding weatherboard home was ripe for a cosmetic renovation. She purchased it for $495,000 by private treaty in the outer western Sydney suburb of Campbelltown.

The following “cookie cutter” works were done:

• new paint to all rooms and external walls,roof and garage walls
• new lighting,
• brand new kitchen with new appliances,
• new bathroom,
• adding an additional bathroom,
• remove carpets and polish floor,
• removal of a wall to make open plan

“I learnt so much from Cherie’s bootcamp, from pre-purchase all the way through to completion,” says Virginie. “I really love how everything in the course is so organised and I can just proceed step by step; it was really easy to follow the program.”

The purchaser who bought it from Virginie immediately rented the house out for $550 per week.
