Landlord's Guide Vol. 1: Remodeling
Description
Book Introduction
The fastest and most reliable way to become a smart building owner: The Landlord Guide.
The first volume is about remodeling to innovatively increase asset value.


Today, real estate-related information is literally overflowing.
We have access to more information than ever before through various media such as books, e-books, blogs, YouTube, and social media, but this overabundance of information can sometimes lead to confusion.
There are many cases where people give false information, give advice that is not suitable for a specific situation, or are deceived by non-experts pretending to be experts with eye-catching words.
Because of this, many people have difficulty making appropriate decisions.
In this information overload, basic "skeletal knowledge" is more important than ever to make sound decisions.
The Landlord's Guide is a great guide that solidifies your foundation of essential knowledge.


First, we ask thirty-four questions to building owners facing various construction projects, such as new construction, remodeling, and expansion.
If you calmly answer this question, you will be able to decide whether or not to proceed with the project, how to proceed, and what to do and what not to do.
Landlords can find their own answers, build a foundation of knowledge, and become wise landlords.

Into the book
“Buildings built in the 1990s, now just over 30 years old, were often built with maximum floor area ratios, thanks to improvements in construction technology and the economic boom.
This is because it was before the early 2000s when standards and restrictions were established for the urban development system.
If these buildings are demolished and rebuilt to meet current standards, not only will the cost be high, but the area will also be reduced.
In other words, these are treasures that are easy to remodel, built at a higher density than the current regulations.”
--- p.30

“Realistically, it is not easy to invest that much time and money in the building purchase review stage.
Therefore, rather than conducting a precise diagnosis using specialized equipment, if you visit the site with a structural engineer and inspect the situation with your own eyes, you can identify a significant portion of potential risks.
If you have an architect or structural engineer who works with your real estate agent, it's a good idea to ask them to accompany you and pay a small travel allowance."
--- p.95

“Remodeling actually requires more experience than new construction.
Unpredictable situations arise frequently, and the ability to handle them effectively is crucial.
In particular, remodeling involves complex administrative procedures, so it is not easy for inexperienced designers to familiarize themselves with and follow the various procedures in advance.
This is a risk that could lead to project delays.”--- p.146

“When a construction company demands an excessively high down payment, we recommend that you question the company’s financial status and reliability, and discuss the company’s history (past project performance, industry reputation, etc.), the CEO’s history, and the length of their tenure.
Additionally, for reliable construction companies, project managers with at least six months to one year of experience will lead the project.
This is an important indicator of the company's stability and project management capabilities.”
--- p.155

“The key strategy here is to elicit cooperation from sellers.
Ideally, you want to persuade the seller to make the necessary preparations before paying the balance.
And it is best to pay the balance when the demolition permit is issued so that the buyer can start the demolition work immediately.
While many sellers tend to be reluctant to allow changes to the building before the final payment, wouldn't it be more likely to win their cooperation if you clearly and sufficiently explain the importance and benefits of preparatory work?
“I highly recommend you try this, as it can shorten your project period by as much as 1-2 months.”
--- p.173

“Even for the smallest building, it takes at least two months to finalize the design plan and at least two months to obtain a building permit.
In the case of remodeling, it may take more time because additional reviews, such as a demolition review, are required.
That's why we recommend setting aside at least 3-4 months as a contingency period to accommodate unexpected variables.
Additionally, when entering into a real estate purchase contract for the purpose of new construction or remodeling, the balance payment period must be at least six months.”
--- p.212

And we are trying to catch two birds with one stone: artistic quality and marketability.

Also, in real estate transactions or construction projects, one decision can have a huge impact on everything.
It takes a lot of money, time, and effort, so if you make a wrong decision, it's difficult to turn back.
Even experts can make mistakes, so I've tried to organize difficult content as simply and concisely as possible.
By checking the 'Essential Checklist Before Remodeling', 'Checklist Before Real Estate Sales Contract', and 'Key Checklist for Remodeling Permits', you can avoid areas that are easy to overlook and mistakes in advance.

Based on these experiences, Zero2N provides practical and useful information to readers who dream of real estate development.


Real estate development is a field where leverage can create significant opportunities with minimal capital. With proper strategy and planning, it holds enormous potential for generating significant returns with relatively little capital.
Of course, if you misuse this opportunity, there is also the risk of suffering great losses.
Therefore, thorough preparation and accurate information are essential.

Today, real estate-related information is literally overflowing.
We have access to more information than ever before through various media such as books, e-books, blogs, YouTube, and social media, but this overabundance of information can sometimes lead to confusion.
There are many cases where people give false information, give advice that is not suitable for a specific situation, or are deceived by non-experts pretending to be experts with eye-catching words.
Because of this, I have seen many people struggling to make sound decisions.
In this information overload, basic "skeletal knowledge" is more important than ever to make sound decisions.
The Landlord's Guide will serve as a solid foundation for your most important knowledge.

Interest in remodeling has been increasing rapidly, especially recently.
As the growth momentum of not only the real estate market but also the entire industry is losing momentum, inquiries about remodeling are increasing. As the number of aging buildings in Seoul increases, the demand for remodeling is expected to grow even more in the future.


In short, it has become a major trend that even Korea cannot avoid.
Remodeling is a great way to increase the value of your land and building at a lower cost and in a shorter time compared to new construction.
In light of the relative paucity of information on remodeling in this context, this book provides a reliable framework of knowledge.
Zero2N directly purchases buildings in the Gangnam Station area, remodels them, and operates the office building. We handle all processes, including land purchase, design, construction, and project financing.
Based on these experiences, we provide our readers with practical and reliable information.
