Fixer Uppers: The 5 Cheapest Homes For Sale in CNY
You can't change the channel without seeing a television show that talks about finding a house and fixing it up. There's Flip or Flop, Property Brothers and (my personal favorite), Fixer Upper, and that's just a small sample.
Have you ever thought about house flipping? What about finding a fixer upper and keeping it for yourself? If we've learned anything from hours of HGTV watching, it's that your fixer upper has to be inexpensive to start with, or you'll end up spending too much money once you're done making it the way you want it.
It turns out, Herkimer and Oneida Counties have a few very inexpensive homes for sale. With some imagination and some elbow grease, maybe one of them could be your dream home.
