Day 41: Home buyers beware


This is a shot in the window of one of the homes we looked into today. I believe Jamin's descriptive word for this one was "skank house" as it was in fairly sorry shape. It was listed at $80k, but would probably need $20k or more in repairs. It was good to look at a few places and just see what's out there for around $100k. I think all of the homes we looked at today were foreclosed, so all of them were a little rough but there was one that I thought had significant potential. We're not quite ready to jump in and buy a place-- or at least I'm not. I definitely need to see a few more areas and ranges to see what's available, what we can handle, and what kind of work a place might need to be livable. One fun thing about this place was that it had stairways to each room and felt fairly open. It was an interesting layout. Down below was the family room, straight ahead the living room, above is the kitchen, and there were three bedrooms as you went upstairs.
