To buy or not to buy... That is the question!
Tension around here is running high as we try to figure out if we should go for this house or not. Lots of pros and cons being thrown around and weighed out. At this point it looks like its about even odds whether or not we will go for it.
Most of the cons are cosmetic, but a few are more serious. The way you pull in to the garage is sort of funky. Also the neighborhood is not what I thought I would ever live in. Then the last thing, the monthly payment is more then we really want to pay per month. We can do it, but its more then we want to.
On the other side the house is great. I really like it. The house itself, looking at just the building, floor plan, looks, size and potential.. I love it. Its just what I want, and its a good deal. I know we won't find anything like this for this much anywhere else, and we wont be able to build anything like this for less or even the same amount either. But is all of that enough?
Tomorrow I am going to set up another walk through on the house and talk to the police about crime in that area.
