Hmmm, I bought my now 60 year old home over 24 years ago and it did need some work. To save cash I did most simple fixes and upgrades after taking some local Handyman courses taught at a Home Depot retail center. Saved a lot! My young boys and I were confident enough to replace a leaking garage roof that took 3 times longer than for a Tradesman to do, still saving me $900+CAD but my back was stiff for at least two days. What was important was my son's also learned new skills doing this together.
I paid off my mortgage three years early!

Another late start for me, good Luck ladies and gentlemen,
