We often hear the term \u201cfixer upper\u201d but what exactly does it mean?<\/p>\n
By definition, a fixer upper is a house that requires renovation. Fixer uppers can be purchased for a fraction of the price of newer, more updated homes, then homeowners can customize it to their own personal taste and style.<\/p>\n
Fixer uppers are either bought by those who want to flip the house for a profit, or by home buyers who wish to turn the ugly duckling of the neighborhood into their customized dream home.<\/p>\n
A fixer upper home is a house that is not attractive to home buyers but will be once home renovations are completed. Outdated features, undesirable layout, peeling paint and old fixtures can turn off many home buyers, except those who see past these negatives and turn them into positives.<\/p>\n
If a fixer upper isn\u2019t in a good location, it isn\u2019t a worthwhile investment. Location is what will set a fixer upper apart after the renovation portion of the project is completed. Everything on both the interior and exterior of the home can be changed except the location.<\/p>\n
