Why a Fixer Upper might be a good investment.
It can be extremely difficult seeing what possibilities lie beyond an archaic exterior wall, outdated flooring or unfashionable fixtures. Most homebuyers desire homes that are in near perfect condition. Because of this, a large majority of prospective homeowners shy away from homes in need of renovation not realizing that many imperfections can be improved with a few minor renovations.
By definition, a fixer upper is a home that can be lived in but needs some enhancements. Generally fixer-uppers are priced 10-20% lower than market value. Typically, the best fixer-uppers are the undesirable homes of today which are reshaped into tomorrows most desirable properties through a variety of different loan options.
