[quote=Anonymous]how fixer upper are you talking?  We bought a house in need of updating, but it wasn't in horrible shape to begin with.  We knew coming in that we were going to rip out the kitchen immediately and change out the flooring on the first level, as well as had some plans for other rooms.  But we didn't really change the footprint - mostly just cosmetic changes.  The biggest changes we made to the house itself were things like putting a doorway between the kitchen and living room when there wasn't one previously and removing a door to the den to create better flow/make it more open.  Oh, and we redid the half bath on that level, which cost us maybe $1K total even with all new toilet and sink installed.  We are now turning our attention to the bathrooms on second level.

We LOVE shows like Property Brothers, Holmes on Homes and Income Property on HGTV, which I think help in seeing how you might be able to make small changes with a huge impact.

If you are thinking of massive renovations, though, I would maybe take an architect with you fo a second look if you think there is potential but you are really sure what to do with the space.[/quote]
