A few things to consider. Would you live in the house during the renovations? If not, can you afford to pay for two households until the new house is ready? Buying and living in a fixer upper is doable but you have to have a really good plan because living in a project can get old quick. My advise would be to at least do the floors while the house is vacant because it's so much easier to do it this way (especially if you want one uniform floor throughout). Maybe even negotiate a credit in with your offer and have the floors done professionally, scheduled to start the day after closing, so then you can move in shortly after purchasing with less stress and headache.
