Worst house in great area or best house in not so great area?
Hello BP Fam,
I was having a discussion with a coworker that's is currently looking to purchase 1st home. I made the recommendation to buy the worst house in a good area, live in it and fix up. I made that recommendation because of the rising value of homes in our area. My coworker came back a few days later and said he made an offer on a house. He offered on an upgraded house in a bad area. His agent told him that he is investing in the future and that area has the potential to grow.
So I thought I would pose this question here to get some other opinions on this topic. Feel free to chime in and share your thoughts...
