Has fixing up an old Naples home ever been your dream? Before you purchase that potential jewel, take a good look at the "bones" of the home.
Fixing shingles is not a problem. It's a completely different, and more costly story, to repair the entire roof structure. Reparing a leaky basement is a simple job. It will be a major project to install a brand new foundation. Replacing pipes, wiring, and toxic building materials should be assessed as well.
Carefully examine the entire structure and move ahead only if you truly believe that your pocketbook, and more importantly, your sanity, can handle the project.
