Most of the really "cheap" homes found in the suburbs are fixer-uppers, so we would have our work cut out for us if we went that route - our first priority is that we definitely want to buy a home in a good school district though. We recently found one home that is bank owned (aka "fixer-upper") that we are going to check out. It may be something we want or it may not work out at all - we're not in a rush, we just don't want to pass up a good buy if it comes along.
Please pray for us as we look and try to make a good decision. We definitely don't want to end up in a money pit, so we're asking God for guidance through this process. If we don't find a house that works for us right now, we will just wait until the perfect home comes along!
