Renovations cost Lindsey! Maybe you should think of 5 or so things you would want to renovate, and then go look at how much materials cost. I did some renovations, and mostly cosmetic stuff. I went shopping with Steve, and everything is expensive!!!

Actually, I chose this house because it didn't need much in the way of renovation. I put down new flooring, put up fans and lighting, bought 2 vanities with hardware, and I think that was it. Then there are window treatments, which are expensive by the time you're done. Paint is expensive too. I could go on, but I just want to tell you that it is costly.

I'm not saying not to buy it, just to go in with your eyes wide open. This way yoiu won't get in over your head.
