Things to Consider Before Buying a "Fixer-Upper"

Most of the time there are unforeseen repairs on any home including brand new homes. Whether it is human hands or time there can be just as many hidden things as obvious things when looking at homes that need fixes. Both Kelly and I have twice purchased older homes here in Asheville. While we love the charm of our homes there are times we get weary of the surprises along the way. Dwell magazine recently published this article on buying an obvious fixer-upper property. There are some great points here. In the end our places truly became homes grounded in both history and our own personal touches. Cheers!
