Women Taking On Historic Homes
Many women are tackling the challenge of purchasing and remodeling historic homes. Trish Sheehan, 43 years old from Logan Township Pennsylvania discovered the joy of renovating a 100 year old home. “Gutting the home is the worse part but I really enjoy it. It is my passion.”
What drives women to take on a challenge that would make others shake in their work boots?
The Altoona Mirror says women are more financially independent and have the kind of job which allows them to buy a home.
The National Association of Realtors agrees with the Altoona Mirror. A record 22% of homebuyers are women, second only to married couples at 61%.
There are several types of homes on the market a person can buy. From handyman specials which require some basic upgrades to more expensive historic overhauls; women have more choices available to them then ever before.
What type of home would you buy? Let us know your thoughts.

I prefer handyman specials personally. If you can find some great property that just needs some exterior and interior work for under $10,000, it makes a great rental property for the price.
