“When considering a fixer-upper, start with the things you can’t change, like location, neighborhood, school district, and how the home is situated on the property. Almost everything else can be changed with enough time and money, so a fixer-upper in the right location can provide a great canvas to create the home you want.”

Our advice, featured in Redfin’s fixer-upper guide
HomeVestors® was recently featured in a Redfin guide, powered by Rocket, on buying a home that needs work. The article walks through what to evaluate before making an offer, including the location, major systems like the roof and foundation, and necessary inspections. It also covers how to budget for repairs and which renovation loans may help.
A home that needs work can come with a lower price tag, but it can also bring unexpected expenses, longer timelines, and financing challenges. Redfin’s guide helps buyers weigh these factors.

Own a house that needs work? We buy houses as is
Buying a fixer-upper isn’t for everyone, and neither is renovating one before you sell. If you own a home that needs updates or repairs, you can sell it as is. That means no repairs, no showings, and no commissions.
You’ll get a free, no-obligation cash offer and can choose a closing timeline that works for you. Selling as is means you won’t have to fix any issues, but disclosure requirements still apply, and we’ll walk you through what that looks like where you live.
