10 Crucial Tips For
Buying A Fixer
Upper
By Real Estate
Experts
Have you ever thought about
buying a fixer upper?
and flipping it for
profit?
If you invest in the right fixer upper…
You can make Hundreds of
Thousands of Dollars.
OR
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!!
But how would you know
if you’re
investing in the right fixer upper?
According to real estate experts…
Here are what to lookout for before
investing in any fixer upper…
1 “The Golden rule of location/school district still
trumps all else, regardless of how much money
you have to create a diamond out of a piece of
coal.” - Dawn Detelich.
Location and School District
2
“The most important areas to focus on when
doing the walk through are the electrical wiring,
plumbing, and the HVAC.” - Bryan Sebring.
Inspect The Plumbing and Electrical System
3
“Do a simple math, count the kitchens and
bathrooms in the entire house and consider the
cost of giving each of them a face-lift.” – Raj
Kalra
Count The Kitchens and Bathrooms
4
“Be sure there are no foundation or structural
problems. Look for sloping floors. This could be
another major expense.” - Timothy Griggs.
Check For Foundation and Structural Problems
5
Inspect The Roof and Ceilings
“Check the roof. Check inside ceilings for evidence of
leakage. This is another major expense that could
take you over budget.” – Timothy Griggs.
6
“Find out if people are moving in or out, if
startups are springing up around town or if
businesses are closing down. Look around, is the
house in a historic city or a tourist city?” –
Williams Oleije
Check For Foundation and Structural Problems
7
“If the exterior is not pleasing and inviting and
loaded with appeal – it is an uphill battle to get
buyers in the door. No one wants to buy the ugly
house.” - Dawn Detelich
Inspect The Landscape
8
“Is it going to be worth it after repairs are made?
If putting the cost to fix a home up is not going
to yield a ROI, you need to choose another
property.” - Amy Hite.
Is the property worth your cash?
9 “There are some areas that require permits, and
licensed contractors to complete the work.
Those costs will add up if you do not budget for
them.” - Amy Hite.
Enquire About Permits and Licenses
10 “Check the doors. Do they fit as well as they did
when they were first fitted? Check the top of an
open door to see if it has recently been planed
or sanded to ease a sticking point.” - Richard
Rawlings.
Don’t Forget The Doors and Windows
Investing in a fixer-upper can be a good business if
you do it right. But you have to be very realistic
before you can buy the right fixer-upper.
A home is too large of an investment to
throw caution to the wind and hope that
everything is ok with it, or to just take the
seller’s word for it.
While you’re considering what fixer
upper is worth your cash…
Or while your fixer upper is being
renovated…
