Have you ever thought about fixing up an old Lexington home ? Make sure you take a legnthy look at the "bones" of a building prior to purchasing that diamond in the rough.
It isn't hard to fix a couple of shingles. It is a very different, and more expensive story, to repair the roof's entire structure. Similarly, fixing a leaky basement is easy. Installing a brand new foundation will be a serious project. You need to think about replacing pipes, wiring, and toxic building materials.
Thoroughly inspect the entire house and only move ahead if you truly feel that your checkbook, and more importantly, your sanity, is ready for the project.
