I am looking at 2 properties. One is a home, 3 bedroom 1 bath ranch on a walk out basement, and needs some cosmetic updating ( the flooring is in good shape, but its 30 yrs old ) and it sits on a street where everyone has a city lot for a yard, and the house has about 1100 sq foot on the main floor.
The 2nd property is a Condo, it has 1600 square foot, with a walk out basement. 4 bedrooms, and a pretty good sized yard for a condo.
The Condo is a foreclosed property and has been empty ( no offers ) for 6 months.
The reason, I presume, for no offers is the neighbors. They are kinda rednecky people, and their children seem to run thru the streets freely. ( at least the night I was Looking at the condo )
the condo is about 30k cheaper , and the house we probably could afford, but it would be tight, and the condo is about what we are paying in rent right now, but getting almost 600 sq foot more living space + basement. The only draw back is the neighbor.
Advice??
