[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the opportunity to possibly buy a fixer upper (not abandoned though) in a desirable  neighborhood that I felt was the best and only neighborhood I wanted to live in at the time. [b]Passed on it mostly because I didn’t want to spend the rest of my kid’s childhood working on the house instead of enjoying the house and doing other things together.[/b] Can’t overstate how all consuming and exhausting and miserable working in a house can be if it’s not your thing. . Bought a “normal” house elsewhere and am very happy. Definitely dodged a bullet. Something to think about.[/quote]

This is really what it all comes down to.  Years of living in a dilapidated house, haggling with contractors and handymen, spending every spare moment fixing something, passing on vacations or trips you can’t afford because the house is eating up all your discretionary income.  It’s just not worth it in my opinion. I would continue renting or look for a good home in a less desirable area.[/quote]
