We’re very excited to announce that Josh & Jenna—who, let’s face it, ditched their surnames after becoming household names on the 2011 series of The Block—have landed, with their 8 week old bubba, Freddie, on the Couch!

The husband and wife duo, also featuring on The Block’s All-Star Series and Reno Rumble, are founders of Melbourne-based interior design studio Bicker Design. With Josh being a qualified plumber and Jenna currently sharing her knowledge and passion at Design School, they are here to chat all things renovation—and how to make a profit out of it!

We’ll cover quite a few things, folks:

  • What being “the bickering couple on The Block” was really like
  • How it felt to lose at auction
  • The most important tips for renovating
  • How they used equity in their first home to buy in Melbourne (a city they hadn’t been able to afford until then)
  • What is the end game of buying and renovating in today’s market?
  • Their budget formula for renovations
  • How to invest in blue chip areas when you can’t afford it yet
  • The financial benefits of paying a stylist to “stage your house” before selling
  • Tiny House Movement in Australia: What is it and how will it impact asset selection?
  • The future of renovating and what you need to know
  • Investing for Airbnb

Happy listening (you can hear Freddie in this episode too, naaw)!
