What should first-time buyers know before stepping into a fixer-upper?
In this episode of The Dirt on Real Estate, host Will Bennett, Licensed Utah Realtor, sits down with experienced flipper and contractor Adam to uncover the real truths about evaluating homes in Utah. From construction pitfalls to smart renovations, Adam shares what every buyer should watch for when considering a property that needs work.
With more than two decades in construction and development, Adam breaks down how to set realistic goals, recognize red flags, and focus on improvements that truly add value—like kitchens, primary baths, and landscaping. He also explains why finding “the worst house in the best neighborhood” can be a winning strategy, and offers firsthand stories of hidden problems (and hidden opportunities) he’s discovered while flipping homes in Utah.
Whether you’re a first time buyer thinking about your first project, or just curious about how to spot value where others see problems, this episode will give you insider perspective on navigating repairs, working with inspectors, and making sure your investment pays off.
