Buying a Fixer-Upper in San Diego

A fixer-upper can be a smart way to build instant equity and get into a desirable neighborhood at a lower price, if you go in with a clear plan.

The Upside of a Fixer-Upper

Fixer-uppers often sell below move-in-ready homes, giving you room to add value through renovations and personalize the home to your taste.

Know the True Cost

Before you buy, estimate repair and renovation costs carefully. A thorough inspection helps you understand what you're taking on and avoid surprises.

Renovation Financing

Loan programs like renovation loans can roll purchase and repair costs into one mortgage. An experienced lender can explain your options.

Run the Numbers

The key is making sure the purchase price plus renovation costs still leaves you with a home that's worth it. Your agent can help you evaluate the deal.
