How much does an investor renovation cost in Austin?

Budgets for investor and rental renovations depend on the property, comparable sales and your target return, so we price each project after a free walkthrough.

Call (512) 744-5251 or send the form to set up the walkthrough.

Scope to the numbers

Tell us your purchase price, target resale or rent and timeline, and we will scope the work that moves the number: what buyers or renters in that neighborhood expect, and what they will not pay for. We flag structural, foundation, roof and system issues during the walkthrough so they are in the budget, not a surprise.

Speed without shortcuts

Holding costs add up every week a property sits. We order materials early, sequence trades tightly and pull permits where the work needs them, because unpermitted work causes trouble at resale and with lenders and insurers.

Adding units under Austin's HOME rules

On many Austin lots, the 2024 HOME code changes allow up to three units. Converting a garage, adding a detached ADU or splitting a large house can change a property's numbers. We can price those options alongside the renovation.
