We’ve heard how you can snag a deal by going with a fixer-upper, but is that really true? Today we’re digging in on the dos and don’ts with house hunting!
Buying a house – – it’s probably the biggest purchase you’ll make.
And depending on where you live, it can be a crazy market. I know here in Raleigh everyone is saying it’s a seller’s market. And I believe it. I’ve seen houses get listed and that sold sticker put on the sign in less than a week.
Which is great if you’re a homeowner – property values are going up.
But not so much when you’re trying to buy a house, which is what my mom wants to do.
She’s recently accepted a job here in Raleigh and after she’s sold her current home, she’s looking to buy.
She’s asked me to tag along and help. And I‘m happy to.
It’s just this means we’re going to have to really hunt for a deal.
A fixer-upper would work for her.
And maybe you’re in the same boat – you’re looking for a diamond in the rough that you can buy a great price and then you can fix it up the way that you want.
The tricky part is making sure you don’t get stuck with a money pit.
Which is why I’m glad Louis Guillama is on today to offer his expertise. He’s the Vice President of Real Estate Operations at Coastal Credit Union.
