I was watching the free Cherie Barber DVD and she mentioned that she had a rule of thumb to not spend more then 2% of the value of house on the kitchen (I think it was those figures anyway).
So I've read a few Reno books now, and read a few rule of thumbs about the total value of Reno. Generally 10% of value of house, or 10% of median value in suburb. (after buying x amount under market or under median)
I was wondering if anyone here had any rule if thumbs they worked by. Either for specific areas or generally. Or did you just buy low value properties and wing it.
