One Man's Mistake is Another's Castle...What Say You?

Some home buyers look for the worst home in a BETTER neighborhood. The house may be hideous, but you know what they say, with a little "elbow grease" it can be made into a "castle". Are you up to the task, can some homes that may be a "mistake" be later made into a "castle"? Read on... (Castle: Yvonne Huijbens from Pixabay)

Frank Sinatra sang about his life mistake his famous song "MY WAY"....remember? 

Frank sang, Mistakes? I made a few...but I did it MY WAY

Well, in real estate that is not always a good thing to do it "MY WAY" and make mistakes. Take a look at a few building mistakes as in this building mistake video realized when the "MY WAY" homeowner decides to sell their home.

Mistake House- How many "mistakes" can you find?

"MY WAY" is not always what a home buyer is looking for. Did you notice the "wood like paneling", "reach in closet", "colored appliances" and "natural growth roof". Sure it was done "MY WAY" by the Seller. The good thing? Maybe a buyer can get a good price. Not so good for the "MY WAY" seller. This one may be difficult to be made into one man's "castle".

Sometimes it is just better to buy a home that is built to code in the Phoenix metro area. Hey, I can help you with that as your REALTOR®.

Good morning, Jeff. I do believe I'm with you on that advice just to buy a home to code. Sometimes doing it "my way" is pure foolishness.

For sure Nina. Building to code if one ever plans to sell REALLY is important. Jeff
