Before you start scouring around for the perfect fixer upper, here are a few things to keep in mind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
DO-IT-YOURSELF<\/h4>\n
The ideal fixer upper is the one that has mostly cosmetic issues. Remodeling tv shows everywhere make us think that turning a home from a dilapidated mess into a space befitting a king is as easy as building a LEGO set, but, in reality one should be honest about what they can actually do themselves. In the end, a bad DIY job could become a serious financial, physical and emotional burden.<\/p>\n

INSPECTION<\/h4>\n
Before you buy, have a certified and experienced home inspector evaluate the property. You want to avoid getting yourself into a money pit so deep, you\u2019ll forget what daylight looks like. There are many different types of inspections and professionals to help you create an accurate assessment of the property you\u2019re eyeing.<\/p>\n
COST<\/h4>\n
When you are ready to put an offer on the fixer upper property of your dreams, you should consider the fair market value less any upgrade\/repair costs. Consider if you can negotiate on the purchase price. Some buyers are eager to sell and will possibly be flexible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Like many older U.S. cities, our nation\u2019s capital infrastructure dates back to the early 1800s and their storm and wastewater treatment system is no longer able to accommodate heavy rain events, causing overflows of untreated waste into nearby rivers and streams. Architus\u2019s work was recently featured in Point of Beginning magazine that explains how our use of virtual construction and geospatial technologies are allowing us to place two 160-foot-tall industrial facilities and related equipment underground into tunnel termination shafts to modernize the city\u2019s storm and wastewater infrastructure and effectively reduce overflows. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":986,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"post-templates\/single-layout-9.php","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ld-wp73.template-help.com\/wordpress\/prod_21594\/v5\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
