Don’t Pass Up a Home That Needs a Little Work

Many buyers scroll right past homes that need repairs. With a clear plan and a little help from MyHomeZilla, you can:

  • Look past the cosmetics: spot homes with good bones that others may overlook.
  • Hear about new listings sooner: get alerts when as-is homes match your search.
  • Take the guesswork out of repairs: use our guides to plan inspections and repair budgets.

Smart Steps for Buying a Fixer-Upper

As-is homes are sold in their current condition, and the seller usually won’t make repairs. Before you buy, check and estimate the cost of big-ticket items like:

Get a Professional Inspection

A qualified home inspector can spot problems you can’t see, and contractors can help you price the bigger fixes. At auctions, interior inspections often aren’t allowed, so plan for surprises.

Explore Renovation Financing

Some loans let you roll repair costs into your mortgage, such as FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle renovation loans. Ask a lender which options you may qualify for.

MyHomeZilla is not a lender, but our guides can help you prepare for that conversation.
