So my husband has experience with fixing up his grandmas house which we
live
in now. For years I just didn't like the house 1023sq (2bd, 1 bath,
unusable
garage, on a busy street) we have a toddler son and we are also running
out of
room to put things. Collection of sheds to put our things. But we live in a
nice small community on the shoreline w/ A+ schools. We found a fixer upper
40min in the deep woods w/9acres it's 4bd 2car garage. It's a big house
3000sq
and cost less than our house now. My husband wants it and to fix it.
Getting
an inspection soon. I'm nervous about it living here, there is nothing
to do
and the schools are decent. So it's either pay more for our small cramped
house in a desired area or buy bigger cheaper house in remote area


Both have good and bad points. Your house is, IMO, bare minimum for a
small family but it can be done and had been done,

Bigger house is nice, but how far is deep in the woods? I don't mind a
drive to get a loaf of bread, when i worked it was 24 miles. For me not
a big deal but not everyone can handle it.

Bigger house = bigger heating bills too so be sure to factor all of
that. If I found it affordable, I'd go for it.
