Frequently Asked Questions

The total cost is less than the cost of one avoidable renovation mistake. The investment is $6,197 including GST for lifetime access to the course and lifetime support from myself and Adel within the student only community forum.

You can either pay the $6,197 upfront, or pay two instalments of $3,300 over two months, whichever you prefer.

For those who want a deeper level of support, we also offer 12 months of group mentorship calls plus 1:1 email support for an additional $2,000 if added when signing up, or $3,000 if added later. That email support is a major point of difference, renovation questions are rarely simple, and most programs don’t offer direct email support because it takes real project experience, time, and detailed review to answer properly.

Yes.

This isn’t theory, hype or fluff. It’s real construction knowledge simplified so anyone can use it.

If you want to protect your investment properties, stop overpaying trades, increase equity or sell for profit and to finally understand what’s going on behind every quote and scope of work, then this will work for you.

I’m Jimmy. I’m a Chartered Civil Engineer with a MSC in Construction Management and a Certified Construction Manager. I’ve worked with some of Australia’s biggest construction companies and delivered more than $150M worth of projects.

I’ve seen investors get overcharged, misled and overwhelmed, not because they bought the wrong property, but because they didn’t know how to renovate properly.

Along with Adel, I built Smart Reno Hub so everyday investors can use the same systems professionals use, without jargon, confusion or guesswork. If you want guidance from someone who has actually lived this, not someone who Googled it, that’s me.

And just so you know, you’re not another number here. You can reach me, ask questions, and interact directly with me and the rest of the community. Your success is genuinely my success.

Absolutely. Most investors lose money through poor renovation decisions, this course fixes that so every project becomes strategic and profitable.

Yes. The entire course is built around buying properties, renovating them efficiently, and either selling for profit or holding for equity. Modules 2 and 3 cover how to assess whether a deal stacks up before you commit, including purchase price, renovation costs, expected sale price, and your target profit margin. Module 5 walks you through the full renovation process so you can execute on time and on budget. Module 7 covers styling, staging, and the selling process to maximise your sale price.

Yes.


Most experienced investors discover hidden mistakes, shortcuts, and inefficiencies they didn’t even know they were making.


This gives you a professional-level upgrade to everything you already do.

No.

This is not a DIY course.

Smart Reno Hub teaches you how to plan, manage and run a renovation properly from start to finish. If you want tutorials on how to tile or paint, YouTube is great for that.

This course focuses on the bigger, more valuable skills.

A cosmetic renovation (paint, flooring, kitchen/bathroom refresh, landscaping) typically takes 4 –6 weeks of renovation work. A more substantial renovation involving structural changes, extensions, or council approvals can take 3–6 months. The course teaches you how to build a realistic program and timeline so you know exactly how long your project should take before you commit.

Yes. We teach students how to pick markets with renovation potential.

We also provide a list of suburbs across Australia

Our philosophy is that you can renovate in any suburb; the true skill is the renovation process.
Smart Reno Hub focuses on renovation and construction management.

Yes. That range reflects realistic outcomes across Australian markets: a well-executed cosmetic renovation on a $400K–$700K property can yield $50K–$120K in equity or profit. Larger renovations or well-timed flips in growth corridors can exceed $250K. Smart Reno Hub doesn’t guarantee returns, we give you the professional systems to maximise your profit and avoid the mistakes that destroy margins.

Most members save money or avoid mistakes within the first few modules, and by being part of our online communities, which are alive and full of discussions. 

You’ll quickly understand how to read quotes, assess scope, manage trades and know what things should actually cost.

You get my full renovation system, the same framework I use to deliver more than $150M in construction projects.

You’ll get step-by-step videos, practical tools, templates, and clear guidance you can apply straight away.

The goal is simple: help you renovate with clarity, control and confidence, even if you’re a beginner.

Yes.

Once you learn this knowledge, you keep it for life.

If you own investment properties, you already deal with maintenance quotes and building issues.

If you’ve ever felt unsure whether a quote was fair or you’ve said “Please proceed” because you didn’t know any better, this education will save you money immediately,  even without doing a full renovation.

Yes.

The course is built for busy people working in different fields not related to construction. Videos are short, steps are simple and templates are easy to use.

You can also jump straight into the module you need. If you’re dealing with a waterproofing issue, for example, you can go directly to that section.

No.

No hidden fees.

No surprises.

All tools and templates are included for life.

Yes. Most of our students work full-time. You’re not on site swinging a hammer; you’re managing the project around a 9–5 with proper planning. The course teaches you how to set up your renovation so trades can execute without you being there. 

This course prevents the costly mistakes made before a renovation starts.
The knowledge pays for itself long before you pick up a hammer or hire a trade.

The course includes a feasibility calculator that models the full deal: purchase price, all renovation costs, holding costs, selling costs, and your target profit. You input the numbers and it tells you whether the deal stacks up. This is covered in Module 2 and is the single most important tool in the course, it stops you from buying a property that looks good but doesn’t actually make money once all costs are accounted for.

1. Built by a Chartered Engineer
Real construction + project management experience.

2. You follow a proven system
Templates, checklists, RFQs, contracts, not guesswork.

3. Learn from real professionals
Electrician, builder, QS, accountant, flooring expert.

4. Skills for life
A repeatable renovation method you can use forever.

5. Smarter than 95% of investors

Know what things should cost and what adds value.

Beyond renovation costs, you need to account for: stamp duty on purchase, legal/conveyancing fees (buying and selling), holding costs (loan interest, rates, insurance, utilities during the renovation period), agent commission on sale (typically 1.5–2.5%), styling/staging costs, and potentially capital gains tax. The course’s feasibility tool factors all of these in so you can see your true net profit before you buy, not after.

Property investors who want to buy, renovate, and sell for $50K–$200K+ profit per deal. Whether you’re doing your first flip or your fifth, this gives you the system to do it properly.
