Real Estate: Looking for a Fixer Upper?

Horry County — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:32:07 +0000

What is the best deal in real estate? If you are handy with a screwdriver and can use a hammer, you may want to look at a fixer upper. Also known as distressed properties, fixer uppers sometimes only need a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. When looking at distressed properties, it is best to have a professional home inspection so that you will know if the needs of the distressed property are more than cosmetic. If you think a Fixer Upper might work in your near future, take a look at what is available. Call Carolina Quest Realty at 843-455-8671 and ask Brian Jordan for assistance.

Question: Why buy instead of rent?

A home is an investment. When you rent, you write your monthly check for the right to live in the property for one month and at the end of the month the benefit of that money is gone forever. But when you own your home, you can deduct the cost of your mortgage loan interest from your federal income taxes, and usually from your state taxes. This will save you a lot each year, because the interest you pay will make up most of your monthly payment for most of the years of your mortgage. You can also deduct the property taxes you pay as a homeowner. In addition, the value of your home may go up over the years. Finally, you’ll enjoy having something that’s all yours – a home where your own personal style will tell the world who you are.
