Do it yourself or not...
Pros
If you’re looking for a true fixer-upper, you’ll likely pay less than you would
for a new home. So you are onto a winner there..
If have can manage to do the renovations yourself, you can save thousands of
dollars in the long run. Money you can use elsewhere to really make the home
yours.
An old house has plenty of character. There will likely be old woodwork,
intricate details in the moldings and quirky light fixtures and hardware. Even
with renovations, you’ll be able to keep some of the uniqueness while
bringing it up-to-date and making it your own.
However if you want to build from scratch, you get to have brand new
materials, position the house on the land as you like, and create a layout you
love.
It can be a lot of fun, very educational and a great experience that you will
remember for years. Also not to mention a moment of great pride when
sleeping your first night in your new home!
