Rob Leroy an associate up in Bellingham, WA is a very good read. In a recent post he talks about the pitfalls of buying a fixer. Like Seattle, buying a fixer in Portland, OR or any other city for that matter, you should ask yourself some of the same questions he poses…
#1 You don’t actually know how to fix stuff
#2 You don’t have the money to get things fixed
#3 You don’t have the time to get things fixed
#4 You can’t get the bank to actually give you the loan
#5 Your work prices you above the market
