Homes have Potential by your own Design!

Take advantage of the market and find a lower priced home that can be transformed into your own dream home by half the cost! A fixer upper has the potential to become anything you want it to be. That's the glory of a lower priced home, you can actually get exactly what you are looking for by your own design and increase the value when it's time to sell! Get a vision of exactly what you want and then start looking for the base of the design. Whether it's as simple as landscape or changing the entire structure, just think outside the box. Start by finding the area you want to live and make sure the changes are going to be approved by the Homeowner's Association. Then negotiate the price based on the task at hand, however, keep in mind most fixer uppers are sold "As Is" and the price is already taken into consideration. Do your homework and get your estimates for the renovation ahead of time to make sure you are staying within your budget, don't get over your head with renovating costs and find that you can't complete the job. Also, pace yourself, fixer uppers can't be done in a day so pre-plan the projects in the priority in which they need to be done. Finally, save time and money and get the family involved, it's a great bonding and learning experience for all! Here are some amazing transformation pics of homes built many many years ago that look completely modern and brand new! There are a ton of areas in Central Florida that truly have great potential to becoming transformed and I would be more than happy to help you get inspired to create your dream home too...!
