Consider Buying a Home with Some "Undesirable" Features
When you're looking for a home, chances are, you have a checklist of things you want. Two bathrooms... a finished basement... a great looking kitchen... an expansive deck...
But what happens when a home you see has a feature that doesn't quite measure up? Perhaps the basement is poorly renovated. Or the kitchen is small. Or there's only one bathroom. Should you say "No"?
Here's something to consider: A home that has a few undesirable features will probably cost less. And, those savings may more than cover the costs of any needed upgrades or renovations.
So don't pass up on a house simply because it doesn't meet all your criteria. It may be worth buying a home for less and then making improvements.
