What amount should I spend to restore my old house?
How many rooms you wish to renovate, the type of renovations that you are planning, where you live and whether you hire professionals or yourself will all affect how much it costs. Depending on the size and scope, renovations can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000.
If you are planning on selling your home after the renovation, it is likely that you will receive less than the market price if you do not account for the costs of repairs, improvements, and upgrades. You could lose money if the home is not maintained in a good condition before selling. However, investing enough energy and time into improving the appearance of your home can help increase the value you get for it when you list it.
These factors will help you choose which projects to start first.
