Which category is your home in?

Almost every home falls into one of five categories. Once you know yours, you can stop making decisions for the house you wish you lived in and start making them for the house you actually own. Nine questions, about two minutes, no email required.

Question 1 of 9

Your category

Your strategy

Where your money actually works

    What to skip

      Next steps

      The workbook has a page for this. Write your category down, then work through the checklist for it before you spend a dollar or take a single photo.

      The five categories

      Restoration Required
      “We know it needs a lot.”
      Concealable Condition
      “It’s tiring but fixable.”
      Surface Shine
      “Looks great . . . until the inspection.”
      Unpolished Potential
      “Solid house, dated outfit.”
      Modern Move-In
      “We could list tomorrow.”
