[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like Philly. We put $200k+ into a house in Philly and while it sounds like a lot, we still have next to no closet space, some failing plaster, a small amount of knob and tube, a bathroom that still needs updating, and omg the amount we pay in property insurance for these 100 yo stone houses. Literally several times what people pay elsewhere, although it sounds like you’re south Philly and maybe not in the stone houses in the northwest part of the city. But I guess there’s something to the old houses and there’s no substitute for family if they’re nearby. I’m not from here but kind of like the gritty nature of this place. And it’s wild to have so much space inside a big city. I honestly don’t know what I would do in your case but if you’re budgeting $200k, plan to spend $350k. And that amount sounds like way more than $200k to me as an estimate. [/quote]
