Our heating isn't tooooo bad, especially since our house clocks in at just under 1,000 sq. ft. -- which is also why this can't be our forever home (too small). It's good that you can at least take your time on fixing up what you need to. Sending hopes that your husband's plans stay stable and close in the next couple of years!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213944131651959303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567880568706694792.post-52815345487528530282014-02-01T20:57:24.027-05:002014-02-01T20:57:24.027-05:00First off, I LOVE your kitchen floors. So cool. I ...First off, I LOVE your kitchen floors. So cool. I totally know where you're coming from concerning buying a vintage home. Ours was built in 1900 and I totally dig the creaky wood floors, detailed windows, and intricate woodwork. However, the heating and upkeep is going to be our biggest financial investment. We definitely have a few things we need to flip and make not so dreadful (Hello 80s pink bathroom, blergh! Or the plastic countertops in my art studio that are falling apart). I'm not sure I really care so much about expecting a return, we really do see this as a forever home, just as long as the Navy doesn't decide they have other plans for the husband in the next two years (highly unlikey).Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135956914665082452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567880568706694792.post-27610890360721389552014-01-29T09:06:07.232-05:002014-01-29T09:06:07.232-05:00Ahh, that sucks that it's worth less than what...Ahh, that sucks that it's worth less than what you paid for it. That seems to be happening all over the country. :-( What a bummer. We're lucky in that respect. Since we got our house at a good (foreclosure-pricing! Everything must go!) deal, we'll pretty much definitely going to make at least what we paid back. Helps with any down-payments, but I'm still not sure exactly how much we'll have to work with.

Will we get a return on that investment? But housing prices in our area show our house as worth less than what we paid for it so we may be here longer than expected.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307066665335899370noreply@blogger.com
