[quote=Anonymous][quote]Haven't read the other responses, but if you have the money to fix it up how you like it, the DO IT! I bought my house in 2003. It was a foreclosure. I didn't even own a hammer and was a single woman at the time.[/quote]

Yes, exactly, you were not the parent of a toddler and a newborn.

OP, I am contemplating something similar but just renovation of our current house. We have a baby and toddler. As much as I freaking HATE our kitchen and how old/dirty/cluttered much of our house is, I have ZERO time now to deal with things (much less DIY, I'm just talking planning) and the idea of that much dirt, dust, and not having a kitchen for a month with 2 little kids? nuts. (plus--things like--construction during nap time, etc). We might do it soon, but I would not do it with baby/toddler. I'd advocate for buying the house now if its in livable condition and doing stuff w hen you can, but know that once there are 2 kids to care for, there's not a lot of time for the regular stuff in life, much less major projects.
