OR, one of the biggest tips I got on home improvement... build the house solid first. Add the extras later. Like light fixtures? Have cheap ones put in first, then later, when you can afford it, buy the nice ones. Same goes with cabinet pulls, hinges, door handles, faucets... those little jobs you can do yourself. Save lots of money on the mortgage by putting in the really cheap ones. It won't hurt the infrastructure of the house. I guess most folks put in the expensive stuff and that jacks up the mortgage so they skimp on things like insulation and cheap plumbing. <BR/><BR/>Just my two cents. I agree with jason. You CAN do it. And $100,000 mortgage payment is usually cheaper than rent.

I wonder what they do for jobs, who designed the place for them, and how they paid it off. Probably some get rich house flippers!! ;)<BR/><BR/>Also, yes, you should buy houses in Fountain Square. Ours is up right now. 1629 Lexington Ave. Have a look-see...then buy it! <BR/><BR/>-spitzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10559263.post-1550204810659218882007-11-14T14:18:00.000-05:002007-11-14T14:18:00.000-05:00It COULD be done.
