FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a fixer and a money pit?

A fixer needs mostly cosmetic fixes. A money pit hides big repairs. Sizing them up before you offer makes the difference.

How do I size up a home that needs work?

Separate the cosmetic fixes from the big repairs and weigh what each could take.

Should I skip a home that needs work?

Not automatically. Some homes are a great fit once you size up the work, and some aren't. Sizing it up first is the point.
