Has fixing up an old Naples home always been your dream? Make sure you take a long look at the "bones" of a property before you buy that potential jewel.
It isn't difficult to fix a couple of shingles. It is a very different, and more costly story, to repair the roof's entire structure. Likewise, repairing a leaky basement is easy. Putting in a new foundation is going to be a big project. You might want to think about replacing pipes, wiring, and toxic building materials.
Carefully inspect the entire house and move ahead only if you truly believe that your checkbook, and more importantly, your sanity, can handle the project.
