How far is that from Austin? My brother is in Austin, and I am too lazy to look up how far it is.
A friend that is in the real estate business once told me that you should never buy a house less than 3 beds and 2 baths. That is supposedly the most sought after combo. If you rent you are more likely to get a family that will potentially stay longer with a 3bed 2 bath.
i cry to think of owning a house like that for only $44k. h and i could so tackle a project like that if it had good bones and a solid foundation. we could have a perfectly lovely house for less than six figures. sometimes i really want to move.
