Buying a Fixer Upper With Bethany and Charles

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 05:00:00 +0000

#56: Think homeownership is out of reach for you?

Well, there are these types of properties called fixer uppers you can look into. They're typically older homes and have outdated decor - you know, think 70s paneling and shag carpeting (no offense if you like that stuff)

Anyway, you get the house, replace the carpet, slap on some paint. And you're done...right?

Not so fast. Bethany and her partner Charles from HisandHerFI.com relied mostly on Youtube videos to do much of the renovations themselves for their new home. The arbitrary budget of $10,000 they set? Yup, they totally went over.

Join me in this episode as we chat about why they decided to buy a fixer upper (despite the foul smells), why their renovations aren't what you'd see on HGTV and how much money they really spent. We also go over how much money they saved buying a fixer upper and some of the lessons they've learned next time they try to tackle a huge project like this.

Stick around to the end where I'm going to show you how you can make housing more affordable, especially if you're interested in buying a fixer upper (no white hair I promise)
