THIS Is Killing Your Real Estate Profits (Do This Instead!)
About this episode
Stuck with an underperforming property? You may be overlooking a crucial aspect of real estate investing that isn’t talked about nearly enough—design. Whether you’re flipping houses, BRRRR-ing (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), or running an Airbnb, design can make or break a deal. Want to potentially boost your revenue by thousands? Then you won’t want to miss this episode!
Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Today, we’re joined by Brianna Amigo—owner of Brianna Michele Interiors and the creative mind behind many of Tony’s investment properties. In the last few years alone, Brianna has helped design over 200 properties in markets across the US. But not only that—she’s also an investor with experience in short-term rentals, long-term rentals, flips, and more. Today, she’s sharing her best interior design tips for rookies who may be leaving thousands of dollars on the table!
In this episode, Brianna shares timely tips for every investing strategy—including how much of your budget to allocate to design and how to create the perfect “experience” for your ideal guest or buyer. Along the way, you’ll learn about not only the deal-killing mistakes beginners make but also the hottest design and amenity trends that can take your property to the next level!
