Pittsburgh Homes Daily

The Real Estate Journal has an article today with lots of good advice for those considering buying a fixer upper.  From examining your potential home closely to consulting a contractor before starting any project, the advice is worth reading for anyone that might be buying a money pit.

One piece of advice that should be added to the list is to search around the internet for the houseblogs of other individuals fixing their dream homes.  In addition to learning a lot about the process through the mistakes of others, you’ll also be able to see the pictures of what people went through to renovate their home.  If the pictures, and the length of time they have been running their blog doesn’t turn you off, then you are ready for a fixer upper!  If you wander on over to HouseBlogs.net, you’ll find plenty to get you started.
