Distressed properties—particularly those that have undergone a considerable amount of disrepair through the years—can be a real estate investor’s goldmine. While the actual profit margins from buying and selling remodeled real estate are not as big as those seen in popular media, repairing and renovating a low-priced rundown home can be a very good investment depending on the circumstances. Much of the advantages come from low initial cost of the home and of remodeling the property. The markup prices of newly renovated homes are usually more than the initial price of the home when it was first purchased.

Homes that are dilapidated are usually sold for much cheaper prices than homes that are in mint condition. The costs of remodeling these homes are typically much lower than the costs of building a new home, assuming that the home has not dilapidated beyond a certain point.
