I appreciate the response, and we are looking to get something that is a fixer-upper partly so we can increase value with improvements but mainly because that is all that’s available. So far, everything under 400k (with very few exceptions, and those exceptions stay on the market for maybe a day tops) has serious damage that would require a large investment to fix. This could be bentonite damage in the foundation, or all walls and floors need to be redone, or it’s intended to be a complete scrape and being sold for the lot. We would prefer to buy something cheaper and are constantly on the lookout for something, but so far all we’ve seen are houses that need serious repairs.
