[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought a cheap fixer upper in a great neighborhood. We thought it would be a good investment and we'd enjoy fixing it up. It's a total money pit and after doing all of the HAVE TO renovations (sewer stuff, asbestos removal, etc.) we don't have any money for some of the cosmetic things that we need -- like new doors, new windows, etc. My next house will be 100% move in ready, even if it isn't in the best neighborhood. [/quote] How old is the house and how bad are the windows? Replacements aren't necessarily the best option for energy efficiency or durability. I looooove my house but it was a fixer-upper and we are moving before we planned to, which pretty much destroys the financial picture for this house. Many things that we could have fixed over time have to be done at once. It's depressing, expensive and stressful enough to make me reconsider the whole move. The worst part is giving up everything about this house that's extraordinary and beautiful compared to the utter crap we will be able to afford in DC. [/quote]
