You've done the education.
So, why aren't you moving forward?
You've been to the events, followed the investors, done the reading. You know refurb properties can deliver serious returns.
But every time you get close to committing, the same doubts creep in.
- What if I've underestimated the costs?
- What if the project runs over and I lose money?
- What if I get it wrong and it sets me back years?
So you wait, find another reason to hold off, and another opportunity passes you by.
You've already invested so much money, time and effort. What you need is a guaranteed way to earn it back.Â
You didn't come this far to only come this far.
We've been exactly where you are.
Before we built Gold Star Property Group, we were stuck too. Stressful careers, big ambitions — and properties we talked ourselves out of because we weren't confident enough in our numbers to commit.
What changed everything wasn't working harder, taking bigger risks or more education. It was building a system.
A repeatable, proven process for costing, planning and delivering refurb projects — one we've used across every project we've completed since. When our mentor saw how quickly and consistently we were turning projects around, they pushed us to start teaching it.
That's what Refurb Academy is. Not theory. Not a course built by someone who did it once five years ago. A hands-on system we use ourselves, every single day — broken down so that any property investor can follow it, regardless of experience.
Honest. Accountable. Results-driven. That's how we work — with our own projects and with every student we take on.
The proven system for completing profitable refurb projects with confidence.
Refurb Academy is a program built for property investors who are ready to stop hesitating and start completing projects that make money.
Every module is built around the same system we use on our own projects. Step by step, you'll learn how to cost a refurb accurately, make offers you can stand behind, and manage a project from start to finish without the chaos.
But the course is only part of it. Alongside the modules, you get direct access to Karen and Barry for the one-to-one guidance and accountability that turns learning into action. And you'll be supported by a private community of like-minded investors who are on the same journey.
The plan. The people. The support to see it through.
You'll learn how to...
- Accurately cost any refurb project before you commit
- Make confident, informed offers on the right properties
- Plan and manage your project so timelines and budgets stay on track
- Identify and manage risk before it becomes a problem
- Complete profitable refurbishments — and do it again
What's included:
- One-on-One Mentorship so you have personalised guidance each step of the way.Â
- Full video module library that you can work through it at your own pace.
- Weekly Mastermind Calls to help you stay on track and get questions answered quickly.Â
- Proven templates & tools you can use on your very next project.
- The same systems and processes we use on our own refurbs.

If you're looking for a get-rich-quick shortcut, or you're not ready to take immediate action on what you learn, this probably isn't a fit.Â
You know the strategy. You just need the system.
