Would you buy a fixer upper home

[Jason Voorhees]

One popular trend I've noticed is many people opting for fixer upper homes

For people looking to buy a home and settle in bay area. There's a problem. Shit is just way too absurdly expensive and unlike in cities like in London or NYC where commuting from suburbs can be done, it doesn't work like that in

The entire Bay Area from San Jose to Fremont to Pleasanton is part of the same tech corridor. The average homes goes for like 3 million dollars and even in suburbs most of them have million dollar starter homes and sky high property taxes. You're not escaping the cost by moving 30 miles like in other places. Unless you are one of those insane niggas who is okay with commuting two different counties.

So what I've seen many people doing is moving to these fixer upper homes which means houses that needs significant repairs.

The worst house in a good neighborhood. Outdated interiors, poor layout, busted HVAC, cosmetic damage etc. Basically signing up for living in a semi construction site for the next several months or sometimes even years. But if can be had for significantly less. Land value >> structure value.

Would you buy a house like this that needs significant repairs and renovation? Also keep in mind the labour costs especially in a place in California is insanely high. If things go sideways you are kinda fucked. You are also largely on your own because there is no builder warranty and no support.

the Jews force you to save up for down payments on a home while some faggot will probably swoop in and take the house before you do

You’re basically buying a weekend job for a year or two, in the best case.
If you can’t do the work yourself you will get fucked in the ass by tradies, maybe literally.

In my area it’s not worth it because property prices are so depressed, you could spend 100k turning a 150k house into a 180k house.

 

[Daddy's Home]

In the context of my country (where builders and building materials can suck big time), I would buy it ready-made. However, if I had a lot more money, I would build it from scratch with premium materials and more expensive, but reliable builders..

no way lol the cost of upkeep and repairs with these “goldmines” are always insanely high

again depends on where you live, if the cost of labour is cheap your good if not 0 possible way

but then again when I think about it, in said high labour cost areas, the price of of housing is also insane so dk

very dependent on the situation here

yea i wouldn’t buy ts

 

[AmericanMTN]

It seems like a lotta work, I'd rather just get a brand new house.
I feel like its too risky with fixer-upper homes.
The only way I would get one is if it was just minor damage.

Depends on how much is needed tbh, but for most cases yes, I love cleaning & decorating, then seeing the results of my work

(On top of that, I get full customization of my place)

@Whatever @AmericanMTN @davidlaidisme67 @sub5outsider

Only if I’m truly in love with it, including the setting, like a cabin by the beach. Otherwise I don’t feel like it’d be worth the time and money, which I might not even have anyways, renting is easier.

I would if I lived in a cheap state, I am in California and the place I’m at, doublewide trailers are nearing half a million

 

[stonecold trucel]

Theres also the third option of sleeping by the side of a pavement with a tent which is the popular and the preferred option by the locals

my dad bought two fixer upper homes

they are an investment

you can hire a crew to do it for you

just pay them cash and theyll get it done fast and cheap

Sure but Contractors charge a premium and proper skilled labor is scarce in cali.
Even basic work like flooring, plumbing, electrical adds up fast

In cali some Mexican works who work for cash know how to do all this

One of the houses my dad purchased was 400k and after spending 40k on Mexican contractors+supplies he sold it for 1.1m

the house was really cooked btw

This is not the average buyer's experience tho. Most people don't have trusted crews or don't know how to manage a renovation efficiently.

It depends if i can see value in the land that it sits on

There's always value for the dirt. In bay. You are basically buying very expensive dirt that the house sits on top of.

That true but as long as you go with a cash only crew and they have a good leader you will still see great returns

This applies to cali idk about other places

California housing market is artificially inflated so even if u suck prices will just continue to rise

 

[Mess]

I don't really have a solid answer, it's all very hypothetical. I'm 16, so too young and broke to even consider buying a home.
So it really depends on whether I have the time and finance. Ultimately, I'd rather just plan and build my own house in the countryside.

Yes, I would love to do that. I wouldn't mind living like Brad Pit and the other guy in fight club for years as I fix here and there.

However, I would never purchase a house in America.

Do you know how to use power tools? I wouldn't trust myself with a Nail gun or a machine saw.

A little bit. We had good shop classes in middle school and highschool. I did woodworking and welding a few years. A little bit of auto shop and CNC as well.

Now I've heard that all the shop classes have been scrapped at the school I attended, in favor of teaching kids to be a pussy.

Detroit is still is a shithole tho. It is not turning into a family friendly tech haven overnight and land value is very volatile while in places like cali it is guaranteed to go up.
