Thinking of buying a home, it’s not super functionally laid out. Has a lot of pros, but it seems like the previous owners just had an add on field day. Both bedrooms have outside access doors, there’s another room they were using as a bedroom but it’s really just another add on and also has an access door to the garage. Previous buyers who backed out and agents have all mentioned the odd layout.

If we were to go in and do all the other necessary cosmetic repairs AND change the layout would this have any effect on resell value? Basically is it worth it to change hallways and door positions. Happy to do it, but not wanting to walk into an unsellable money pit. If we only did cosmetic repairs would the layout bite us in the end when going to resell?

In love with an older home that has many pros to buying.

A con- which has also been mentioned by previous buyers who backed out- is that the home has a really non functional lay out. We aren’t really very bothered by this but are worried about the resell value since this isn’t going to be our forever home anyways.

Looking for informed opinions or really any opinions at all, one thing that bothers me most is that both bedrooms have an outside access door. Bear with me here….one bedroom connects to a sunroom. The sunroom has additional door to enter not through the bedroom. Thinking of just taking that door in the bedroom out and walling it up. The other bedroom has a door to a side patio. This is the only door to access the side patio other than an outside gate entrance. Thinking of adding a Sheetrock partition wall to extend the hallway past that door making it a hallway exit rather than a bedroom exit and reframing a new door to the bedroom.

While these repairs would make it more functional for us, do we think they’ll make a huge difference on future resell value?

To make a long story short, I’ve really struggled with weight even while being on the compounded tirzepatide. I recently decided to “re-lock in” again and all the sudden my feed everywhere is people talking smack on glp1 users for being lazy. It makes me feel lazy…and honestly hopeless and fat. I’m so sick of the calories in calories out bs. Some people, seemingly a lot of women, just cannot get the pounds off! I have a metabolic issue. My daily maintenance calories are so low. A deficit big enough to make a difference is just not healthy nor sustainable. And then they tell you to work out more…how can i effectively do that when i am starving to the point of no energy.

While there are pros and cons to being on this, and once I hit my goal I will be looking into other prescribed options, without it i was at the point where being invited to dinner made me cry because i knew id gain weight. It has made weight loss feel possible again, like all my hard work actually amounts to something.
