Cherie Barber: Should you do her Renovating for Profit course?

In this review, I hope to help you decide whether Cherie Barber and her Renovating for Profit course is right for you. Let’s jump into it. After all, I’ve done many courses, workshops and seminars since 2009, so this one comes with experience.

Today, I have a number of investment properties and I have done multiple developments (including renovations). I choose to sell on Amazon and eBay as I’ve found it the easiest way to make money. I earn more than a full time income on very part-time hours. This blog is simply a resourceful collection of the tools, courses and resources that I’ve used in my journey.

Some courses I’ve done have been good, some really need to improve their game. One course company even shutdown after I saved dozens of people from their rubbish $1,000 course. Bye bye Studywell College.

That’s the power of an independent reviewer like me. So no BSing around these parts. Let’s get into it…

How is the course?

The course is great. Yep, I rate it quite highly. You’ll learn quite an extensive amount on the topic of property renovations and even some elements of small scale multiple property developments.

Quite simply, Cherie Barber has the best property renovations course in Australia. She’s been around for years with literally hundreds of success stories and reviews.

There’s very little missed within the course and bootcamp. The price is expensive, but so is the price of making a mistake if you don’t take the course. Consider it a fast-track to success.

Cherie’s been in the game a long time. Considering all renovators and development gurus that have come and gone (Hello Carly Crutchfield!), it’s pleasant to see that Cherie still isn’t going anywhere.

When you buy the course, rest assured that Cherie is still in the trenches and will be for a long time. Much like me, if you get started today with Australia’s #1 Amazon community with free training for beginners.

Would I do the course today?

No, I wouldn’t. But then I wouldn’t do anything property related. These gurus and property boot camps were booming through the 2000’s due to the increase in property prices, fueled by both local and overseas demand.

Today, the nation’s property market is in decline. There’s no point buying a property for $500k, to sell at $700k and spending $150k on renovations when that $50k profit is likely to be eroded in the time you take to renovate.

I’m not selling my portfolio, and I’m certainly not adding to it either. My focus is simply on building my cashflow towards 6 figures monthly. I’m already at 5 figures monthly. So when the market bottoms out, I can purchase multiple properties every year and retire on the cashflow.

The banks will definitely see me as their best applicant ever and can flip properties in a rising market. A wise strategy, yes?

Best alternative to Cherie Barber

If I was new to this, I’d be educating myself all day and night on how to make all my income online. This way, there’s no ceiling. It’s somewhat passive income too. There are numerous ways to make an online income, including selling on Amazon. There’s a free training series if that’s of interest to you.

I feel that this decline in Australian real estate is going to last 5 to 7 years. In that time, beginners should be working on their income. At least reach 6 figures yearly, as banks will tighten their lending criteria after this deflation.

Conclusion

The Renovating for Profit course by Cherie Barber is great, but the market conditions aren’t. It’s a tough place to be in, especially for Cherie who makes a sizable income from selling her course.

You could still make this work, especially when stumbling across properties for a massive discount. Those opportunities will be few and far between, but they’re out there if you choose to look.
