Have you always dreamed of remodeling an old Irvine home ? Before you buy that diamond in the rough, take a legnthy look at the "bones" of the building.
Replacing shingles isn't that bad. It is an entirely different, and more costly story, to fix the entire roof structure. Fixing a leaky basement is a relatively easy task. Installing a new foundation will be a big project. You might want to think about evaluating pipes, wiring, and toxic building materials.
Move ahead only if you have thoroughly inspected the entire structure and really believe that your checkbook, and more importantly, your sanity, is ready for the task.
