Buying fixer uppers can be a great way to get into the Santa Cruz real estate market. By looking at homes that need work you will be competing with a smaller pool of buyers. If your willing to view distressed properties you will have more opportunities in the real estate market.

Fixer uppers generally fall into two categories.

Cosmetic Fixers

The properties are structurally sound but need various cosmetic repairs. The previous owner has chosen not to do upgrades and repairs prior to selling the home. Often times the properties have been rentals for many years and need work. You can expect the homes to need new paint, floor coverings, landscaping etc. With fairly minor upgrades the properties value can be raised substantially.

Structural Fixers

These homes are not for the average buyer but can be a great investment for the right person. Structural fixers often need foundation work, wall & roof framing repairs. Extensive construction knowledge is required if a buyer intends to do the work themselves. Structural fixers can have huge upside potential!
