So we have found one house that we really think has promise. The only thing is that it is not cheap.
It is a 3br/2bth house in Grapevine with great potential. The kitchen at this present time is not very large, however, I think there are few improvements Joe and I could do if we could get in there. I think what we are struggling with is finding something we will enjoy, that is a good value and we won't be wasting our savings away -- but countering that with what we would like to have. Maybe a better title for this post would be: Balancing your wants vs. your needs: Your Forever Home vs. your Starter Home.
Ugggh...so I think we are going to make an offer...significantly less than what they are wanting and see where it takes us. Joe and I have our magic number where it wouldn't be reasonable for anything above that. So at least we have that in our mind. Any ways...we'll keep you posted.

I love all the landscaping! And the green trim really looks nice.
Joe's handy and would do a great job with any changes made to the kitchen.
Let's just hope the seller really wants to sell the house, and that your offer is accepted!
I love porches and if this was the long term house and you want a bigger kitchen, you may want to rethink. However, if you can add to and play with--this may be the pick. Good luck!
hmmm, add up what you think a "redo" of the kitchen would be, then double that amount. add that to the price you're offering...is it still worth it b/c of location, charm, space, and so forth?
Well, it looks good from the outside.
Wow, a real grown-up house! Exciting!
