We have not made a major purchase of any kind outside of a vehicle. 

What productive activity would you do?

I’d start with the conventional it a superior product.

I think we are missing a MAJOR piece of the deal.

It is a family friend and they are looking to sell, it needs a major rehab on the entire property but my wife likes the location(about a block from our pastor’s house) and in the school district she teaches in.

I would direct you on specifics depending what are your major concerns; access to schools, work, equity etc.. 200K is a good average.

It doesn’t appear to me that it’s got any major issues other than potentially some minor electrical stuff.
