We did the same thing - building up these houses that were DUMPS. That smelled like cat pee. That had no SHOWERS! We came across one house that had just one bathtub, and a creeeeeepy shower in the darkest, dankest corner of the scary basement. We left immediately after!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170584611110958840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742998916328546010.post-73807005248348366352009-07-26T09:20:38.013-07:002009-07-26T09:20:38.013-07:00I don't understand how people can't update...I don't understand how people can't update their decor.

NO CLOSETS. think about that for a second. <br /><br />none in the bedrooms, none in the hallway, none in the bathroom... it was very odd. <br /><br />best advice? look past all of that stuff and just look for a large enough place that you don't have to spend too much money on expanding and everything cosmetic can be fixed with a can of paint, some spackle and new floors. trust me. <br /><br />good luck girl! if you ever want any advice, let me know!! xorachelhttp://confessionsofajerseygirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742998916328546010.post-4877049560536315852009-07-23T08:04:32.010-07:002009-07-23T08:04:32.010-07:00The one thing I learned while house hunting was th...The one thing I learned while house hunting was that there is no such thing as a perfect AND affordable house. No matter, there is going to be a ton of work to be done to make a house an acceptable living space. The house I bought had so much wood paneling in it that had to be painted over it took me months. The living room CEILING was wood paneling. Just imagine that nightmare for a moment.The Dutchess of Kickballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06895200514420928761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742998916328546010.post-79435705713181519692009-07-23T07:41:40.734-07:002009-07-23T07:41:40.734-07:00Mandy- I am a HUGE bath girl, but I like them as a...Mandy- I am a HUGE bath girl, but I like them as a choice, not a requirement!<br /><br />Lara- See, even Blogger is happy for me!<br /><br />Nory- Be VERY careful about buying homes to use as rentals. You would think people would have the decency to respect your property...but they don't. We are renting a house right now and the people before us left the house in a disgusting state AND there is a lean on the house from the city since the city had to come out and mow the grass because it got so bad!
