The Perks of Buying a Fixer-Upper
Affordable pricing
As you might expect, homes in need of repair also come with a more affordable price tag because they require a little extra TLC. Be sure to talk with your agent and contractor before purchasing a fixer-upper—you'll want to budget for the initial purchase price, as well as any renovations you plan on tackling over time.
Total customization
Thanks to a lower purchase price, fixer-uppers also come with full customization. So if you hate the kitchen, it's easier to gut it and completely personalize your dream space. You'll also have control over the construction process, which adds an additional layer of quality control.
Investment opportunities
Real estate investing is one of the most profitable ways to diversify your portfolio. Here in the Triangle, investors can purchase a fixer-upper in a desirable neighborhood for an affordable price, flip it, and turn an impressive profit. You can also choose to rent out the property after you've renovated it to generate passive income.
Less competition
Because most buyers are looking for move-in ready homes, the fixer-upper market doesn't move as quickly here in Raleigh. That means you can take your time finding the right home and estimating costs for repairs.
