Price minus repairs. The right price is the finished value minus the repair cost minus your margin. We build that number before you tour a Thornton fixer.

Cosmetic versus structural. Paint, floors and a kitchen are cosmetic and cheap. Foundation, sewer line, roof and wiring are the four that eat budgets. We inspect for the four first.

Financing. FHA 203(k) and conventional renovation loans roll the repairs into the mortgage. Cash and hard money buy the ones a lender will not touch.

Competition. Investors watch Thornton fixers daily. A pre-approval, a fast inspection and a clean offer beat them more of the time than a low number does.
