[quote=Anonymous]OP, keep in mind that if the house is in poor condition just about anything you want to do will cost more than anticipated.  I'd stick with a budget of $100K with the remaining $50k to cover all the unexpected expenses.  We are in a similar situation and even the smallest of things (replacing toilet paper holders for example) were never as straightforward as we had hoped.  There was always something else that needed to be done in order to correct the intended project.  Thankfully we are able to do many of the extras ourselves but if I had to pay for everything it would have totally blown our budget.  This has also resulted in having to cut back on the scope.  If you do not feel this is your forever home than I would spend the money working with the layout of the house and making it really nice.  A smaller kitchen that is higher end is more important to me than a larger cheep kitchen.  Spen money on nice furnishings and accents, make it beautiful inside and out and you will be so much happier .[/quote]
