There are a few reasons that someone may want to move into a home that needs some good tlc. One, that they want to fix it up and re-sell it for a profit. And two, they want to buy cheap and remodel it for living long term. The attraction to living in a fixer-upper home is strong, especially if the home is in an awesome location or it has good potential. Moving into a home that needs a lot of care needs to be handeled by only those who are experienced, those who understand the importance of planning, and those who have strong will-power.

Trying to move into a house when remodeling can become very difficult. If you have no other choice and the home is used for a long term living situation then there are a few things you can do to ease the process. Get a self-storage for the duration of the renovation, and only keep in your home the essential items for living. Also, be sure to only work on one project at a time so you can still have other parts of the home to live in and use.
Planning is the most important part of moving into a home that needs remodeling. Without proper planning it is likely that you will find yourself having to do things twice. For example, if you paint your walls before fixing drywall or doing wiring, then you will most likely be painting twice. It would be wise to have a list of things to be done and an order to which they should be done. It is sort of a rule of thumb to do the exteriors of the home first like the roofing and exterior walls to prevent such things as leaks from occurring into the inside of the house. From there you can move on to other things such as plumbing, electrical etc. If your flooring is sturdy enough to walk on then you can leave that for last so you do not scuff up or ruin the floor during other projects.

Fixing up a home then flipping it is all about spending as little money as possible during the renovation process so when it comes time to sell it, there is still a profit to be made. Those who are experts at this know that the best type of home for re-sale is one that only needs smaller, less expensive improvements. It is always important that when moving into, or re-selling a fixer-upper that you understand what it is you are getting into. Success with these types of projects only come from proper planning and wise decisions.
