Well, i would prefer not to be able to see the ground through the floors, or the sky through the roof! So basically as long as it is safe for me to live there, and has working A/C and plumbing. That first one you posted is pretty much what i'm looking for. Like i said though, i'm not quite ready to buy. But this is very reassuring that there is some housing available within my budget. I'm probably looking in the 200k and less range, so something in the 160-180s would be perfect, since i could account to invest 20-30k into the house upon purchase. I like the one with the garage apartment, I could always finish that out first on the cheap and live there for a while, and the house could be a longer, more involved rehab. There is really some great/helpful people on this site. I truly appreciate all the input so far. I'm just a poor man, trying to save a bungalow.
