Tips from Sunrise Moving & Storage, a premier moving company in Buford, GA, can help you decide if a fixer-upper house is right for you.
For avid do-it-yourself fans, buying a fixer-upper home can seem like a great idea. However, before you decide to commit to such an exhausting project, make sure you know what you're up against. The following tips from Sunrise Moving & Storage, a premier moving company in Buford, GA, can help you decide if a fixer-upper house is right for you.


• Understand what you're up against. Living with ripped up flooring and plaster dust for months might not seem too appealing to most people. Moving in with family during your remodel project can seem even less appealing. However, the reward in store is a house that is custom made for you and your family. Get a realistic view by talking to contractors, neighbors, and friends that have been through similar projects, and decide if the inconvenience and work is worth the reward.


• Look past the paint. Buying a house is an emotional experience, but use logic to decide if the property is a good investment. A house that has been carefully maintained is worth painting over the mustard colored walls. On the other hand, don't spend so much time looking at the updated kitchen countertops and ignore the outdated electrical and plumbing systems. Everything can be fixed, but decide if the work is within your budget.


• Location, location, location. It's been said many times, but still bears repeating. The worst house on the best street is far better than the best house on a bad street. Avoid neighborhoods where property values have declined, as this will make it much more difficult to sell your house down the road and recoup what you've spent. Spend some time looking around the neighborhood to see how owners take care of their properties.


• Assess your skills. Save money by undertaking some of the remodel yourself. Check out renovation books and magazines and attend free clinics offered in stores. Some tasks can be accomplished without professional help. Many homeowners are saving money by laying laminate and hardwood floors, hanging sheetrock, and painting.
