Question 1

What is the recommended renovation strategy based on?

Accepted Answer

The address, the asking price and the condition you give, read against local construction costs, what comparable properties nearby have traded for, and what the jurisdiction will actually permit. Archie ranks candidate scopes by what each adds versus what it costs, and the Deal Brief leads with the smallest scope that captures the best upside — the play that returns the most per dollar, which is rarely the biggest one.

Question 2

Should I fix and flip this property or buy and hold it?

Accepted Answer

Fix-and-flip means renovating and selling quickly, typically within 6–12 months: faster returns, higher risk, and everything rides on the resale. Buy-and-hold means renovating to rent long-term, building equity and monthly income. Which one a property suits depends on the spread between what the work costs and what it adds — say which you are weighing in the same WhatsApp thread and Archie will re-rank the scopes for that goal.

Question 3

Do I need an account to use the strategy planner?

Accepted Answer

No sign-up on this page. If Archie doesn't know your number yet, his first reply is a one-tap link to log in or create your account and connect the number — a free account, created in that tap. The property you already sent is screened automatically once the account exists, so you never describe it twice.

Question 4

Is this investment advice?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a screen, not advice: an estimate of what a scope of work would cost and what it would add, from public records, local cost data and comparable trades, so you can decide which deals are worth a closer look. It is not a bid, an appraisal or a recommendation to buy, and it is no substitute for your own diligence or a licensed professional.
