Everybody loves to get a great deal and purchasing foreclosures in Athens GA can be a great deal!
The home-fix-it shows give us great weekly stories about buyers who purchase a property for pennies on the dollar, do the repairs themselves and end up with a stack of built-in equity. The thought to bear in mind is that these television shows are for entertainment. Like hoping to win the lottery, real life is often something different.
That doesn’t mean that there aren’t foreclosure opportunities especially suited for you. If you are a craftsman by trade or have a family member that is a contractor, you just might find a diamond in the rough. However, if renovating a home to you means changing the curtains and hanging new towels, you should probably think twice about purchasing a foreclosure.
Most foreclosures have been neglected, and that only makes sense. The former owner couldn’t make the mortgage payments and that’s why the property was foreclosed upon in the first place. It follows then that it is unlikely that the home was maintained properly. If there wasn’t any money available to make the monthly payments, there probably wasn’t any money to keep the house in good condition either.
We have found that most buyers prefer a home that is move-in ready. By the time you add up the cost of getting a neglected home back into living condition or at least bringing the home up to standard so that it doesn’t deteriorate any further, the amount of money you have spent can exceed what you would have paid for a home that was already liveable.
