Trying to buy a home but not finding anything in your price point?
A fixer upper, or a house that needs some updates, could be your way into homeownership -- since they’re typically priced lower than move-in-ready homes.
But here are a few tips you’ll want to keep in mind if you go this route.
If you want to talk through if this makes sense for you or if you want to see what’s available, DM me.
