How Ethan and Elizabeth turned a passion for affordable homes into a 2.9 million follower movement, and why they believe a cheap old house is actually a smarter financial move than a brand-new build. 2. The green flags and red flags to look for when buying a fixer-upper, how much money and time to realistically budget for a renovation, and which projects you can DIY versus when to call a pro. 3. How to find deals that never show up on Zillow, what resources exist to save money during renovation, and the secrets behind buying a house for $27K at auction.
