We looked at a foreclosed unfinished house, it was AMAZING. I wish we could have afforded to finish it. It would have increased by 300% in two years. Now I am drooling again.

It would be so exciting to design a house exactly the way you want it. Especially if it's affordable! (Or "if it's in your price point" as they annoyingly repeat over and over on House Hunters :) As for the lottery, they don't have one where I live so we drove to Idaho yesterday to buy some (under the guise of "Let's go to Bear Lake!").

I'm all about making a home your own and although I haven't experienced it myself I imagine the warm happy feeling one gets after seeing their hard work laid out in front of them. I say go for it! ps. if this house has a pool, I have an electrician I would be totally willing to pimp in trade for good weather & a much needed vaca DAMNIT…for a moment there I was excited about winning $3 on my ticket.

And if by some tragedy we don't get a ticket, we still check the numbers because he is also POSITIVE that will be the week our numbers come up. And then we will just be shmucks. Second, I love, love, LOOOOVVVEEE watching all those flip this house type shows. I would absolutely love to be able to buy a house and remodel it however I chose. But we are NOWHERE close to being able to. Ok, I guess there are three: I also scrounge in my brain for where money is going to come from to get a downpayment large enough that in any other state would buy a whole house from.
