[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't have the budget to renovate, I would disagree with PPs and get a house I love on the inside that isn't amazing on the outside. You'll be living it in! And let's be honest, in a lot of neighborhoods, if your budget is any way limited, you're not getting a beauty on the outside.  You may as well enjoy the inside, which is where you'll spend most of your time.

I never thought I would buy a split-level, but we just found one with a very open floor plan in a great school district close-in, and we put a contract down.  Love love the inside; I will learn to deal with the outside. [/quote]

I tend to agree.  Doing a major renovation or a gut job certainly requires not only lots of money, but also time and often you are in a hurry to move in, especially if selling the house or when lease is running out.  Doing work on the inside of the house when you are already living there with kids is a major ordeal.  Exterior work can be done without as much inconvenience.  So, I would prefer a house in a move in condition but with uglier exterior, over the one that is pretty on the outside, but needs lots of work inside. [/quote]
