I accidentally stumbled onto the prettiest, most unbelievably
reasonable 3 room bungalow in an unfashionable and increasingly
crime-ridden section of my region.

Remember the 3 most important elements of a real estate purchase: location,
location and location.

Why would you even consider buying in an "increasingly crime ridden" area?
You'll be robbed, burgled, assaulted, raped, harassed, harassed, vandalized,
etc., etc.

Walk away from the properly and save yourself a lot of heartache. It's a bad
deal no matter what the price-- even if they gave it to you, take a pass.
