🔨 WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A FIXER UPPER 🔨
⠀⠀
There’s always something.. like that cabinet door that we forgot to install after putting up the backsplash 🤣 (did you notice that?!)
⠀⠀
I’ll be the first one to tell you that buying a fixer upper is a LOT of work (especially if you’re doing all the work yourselves 🙋🏻♀️) but if you have the TIME ⏰ and the ENERGY ⚡️ it’s totally worth it.
⠀⠀
Here’s a few things I wish I would have known before we purchased:
⠀⠀
1️⃣ Don’t drain your savings to put down 20%. Leave a buffer so you’re not financially stressed right off the bat.
2️⃣ Make a timeline for work to be done. If you have a clear end date, you’ll be more motivated to power through.
3️⃣ You don’t have to make all your design decisions at once!! But it’s a good idea to have a general style in mind.
4️⃣ Pizza & beer is a good motivator & a cheap way to pay your friends 😉
