Fixer-uppers could be diamonds in the rough.

This is why first-time homeowners are drawn to purchasing old, dilapidated properties for cheap in the hopes of being able to increase their market value.

However, contrary to popular belief, not all renovations are worth the time, money, and effort you're going to spend.

In today's episode, we're answering the age-old question: should you renovate or not?

We also discuss what to consider when buying a renovated home, the importance of engaging a project manager, various building codes, and more!
