I've suddenly had two good purchase opportunities come my way and am thinking I should take one of them. It would the family home for myself & 3 others.
One house is solid, generally in very good condition, has lots of street appeal, nice yard for the kids, close to facilities etc, but has an absolutely woeful kitchen & bathroom. But I can probably get it at a good price.
The other house is a bit quirky, much more rundown, poor roof, average plumbing, but quite liveable without much work for a few years at least. When I do get some more money to rennovate then this place has huge potential - great area, great view etc
But - there's always a but - I have absolutely no money available for immediate rennovations.
So which option do you think is better ? The solid family-friendly home (but with a appalling kitchen & bathroom); or the rundown place with lots of little problems, and a bad roof, but lots of potential ?
Any thoughts at all much appreciated.
