Unfortunately, it is looking like that house Better Half and I were interested in is not going to work out – the structure just requires far too much work (we found even more after a few more tours through it), and given the price the current owners are requesting, we doubt we can actually knock them down far enough to a point where we could afford the immediate, necessary repairs to the house, much less the other repairs we think would be needed at some point for resale, comfort, or just aesthetics. However, we are heading out to take a look at a few open houses this afternoon, as well as a few lots in the area, and hopefully, in the next six months or so, we will have a little plot of land all to our own.
Or we can keep going on not worrying about maintenance, not having to mow the lawn, not having to pay property taxes, not having to worry about landscaping, etc. etc. Oh, the choices.
