What’s a fixer-upper? It’s a home that needs some repairs or updates. Maybe it has an old kitchen, or worn-out floors. These homes are often priced lower than move-in-ready ones, so they can seem like a great deal. But is it the right choice for you? Let’s weigh the pros and cons.
The Pros:
• Fixer-upper homes usually cost less than updated homes, helping you save to buy a home.
• You get to make the home truly yours by renovating the home.
• When you improve a home, its value often increases. That could mean more return when you sell soon.
The Cons:
• Repairs can be expensive, and problems like plumbing or electrical issues might not be obvious at first.
• Renovations take time, and managing contractors or doing the work yourself can be stressful.
• Renovation budgets don’t always go as planned. You could end up spending more than you expected.
