[quote=Anonymous]We bought a foreclosed, 100 year old house in a nice neighborhood in our 20s and it looked fine to our untrained eyes. We had absolutely no idea how much money we would have to pour into this house to make it livable (crumbling plumbing, ancient electrical, roof leaking, windows painted shut, and so on.) Both sets of parents were appalled that we bought this house and thought we should have stretched our budget to get a newer and nicer house. But nowadays these houses get snapped up by flippers within a day. So we as a young couple wouldn't be able to buy in this neighborhood at all. For the first few years I was sick to my stomach that we had bought such a dump. Now I like this house because everything in it was selected by me. [/quote]
