re: Home Remodels over the next few years

The real question you should be asking yourself is how much sweat equity you’re going to put into it.

That is the biggest determining factor in whether you make money or lose it IMO. I don’t think you should take on renovation projects until you have done experience with them from a hands on perspective.

Materials costs will probably decline somewhat, which will help you if you’re doing a significant portion of the work.
