[quote=Anonymous]If you are going to buy, go ahead and buy a house that could accommodate 1-2 children, even if you don't have any.  Even if you think you won't have any.  If you are 100% sure of no kids, still buy in a good school district if you can afford it if you think you'll ever need to sell your home someday.

Buy the crappiest house in the best neighborhood.

Granite and stainless steel appliances are shiny, but you'll be much happier in long run with a new roof and HVAC.  Cosmetic issues are cheap to deal with.

If you don't like doing backbreaking yardwork in the heat now, you won't like it after you buy your house.  A big yard and fussy flowers/plants are a big drag if you enjoy brunching on weekends.

All houses with basements will get water eventually.  I know a million people are going to swoop in and say nuh uh!!#@!!@  But I know I am right.  You can't dig a hole in the ground and not get some water eventually.  So what to look for--make sure the slope in the yard works, the gutters are clear, there is a drainage system and a sump pump.  Don't put hardwoods in the basement.  [/quote]
