[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a single mom I would not take that on.  You will be managing lawn workers, maintenance people constantly.  It will be a full time hobby.

Frankly as a single mom I would get a really fancy townhouse walkable to coffee and a farmers market near my kids school.  [/quote]

Yes, this, agreed as a mom... but we don't know if OP is mom or dad?
Some dad's get off on doing that sort of tedious stuff.

My bigger concern would be the [b][u]90 year old[/u][/b] house -- because you know that every single year like clockwork, SOMETHING is going to need replacing, start falling apart, breaking down, etc. etc. etc.  Of course they want you to take on the first $30k of anything find in inspection -- exorcism it to be much more than that.

The current owners having lived there for the past 40 years doesn't necessarily make me feel any more secure either... it makes me think that updates & maintenance may have possibly fallen by the wayside... but, only you know how the upkeep of the house appears.
