Trading and investing

Saving and investing money is the best way to finance improvements to your house. Avoid raising your mortgage to improve your home unless you have a lot of equity available in your property. I recommend that you never mortgage more than 70% of the equity in your property. This protects you when the property market falls and reduce the risk that you will be overleveraged.

Save money and invest it until you can afford to do the improvements you want to do. Make sure to choose a good broker or trading platform to maximize the return on your investments.

Choose a trading platform with low fees to make sure that you keep as much as possible of the profit.
