According to
Market Watch magazine, these are the top seven things
not to do when remodelling the American home for investment (the same 'sins' mostly apply to the NZ home-owner considering renovations for profit). Here's the summary:
- Don't over-expand or over-capitalise.
- Don''t make you home into something it isn't.
- Don't change a room's function
- Don't DIY
- Add a large contingency amount to your budget
- Don't renovate what brings no return
- Don't forget maintenance.
You'll notice that an architect or home-owner remodelling for fun rather than profit might have a somewhat different list.
Full list with reasoning here.

Au contraire, mon ami. :-)
