That house needs a little work. But how much work is too much? Here's an easy way to tell.
Travis Wright here, with eXp Realty. Lots of people looking around Lawton want move-in ready. But in their budget, a lot of homes need something. New paint. Old carpet. A tired kitchen. Or maybe a bigger problem hiding behind the walls.
Here's how I think about it. Cosmetic stuff, like paint, flooring, and light fixtures, is usually cheap and fast. That's where deals hide. The big stuff is different. Roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, and heating and air. Those can eat your savings fast.
So when you find a home that needs work, we figure out which kind it is before you make an offer. An inspection helps, and so does a quick quote. Because buying a fixer-upper should feel like a project, not a reality show.
Reply with the word WORK, and I'll help you size up any house you're eyeing.
