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

Do you plan on having more children? I'm one of 9 and I grew up in both a small town and in a rural area on top of a mountain. I was tortured by nuns in the Catholic parochial gulag and by psychos in the government interment camps (public schools). Good schools with good teachers are the most important thing a kid can be exposed to. Stay far away from the thug babysitting services. As you may have heard before,"It's for the children." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
