Hello! If you are new, you can catch up by looking at my other posts, but anyway, my boyfriend of now 8 month wants to buy a fixer upper as our first home together to turn into a rental.

We have but heads a bit on it, nothing crazy just “idk….” Type of stuff. Something I’ve never mentioned before is I live at home, and my parents are firmly against living together before marriage.

Any who, the whole plan was to wait until April-June to buy a place as June is when his lease ends, she we’d be together over a year by then.

Well, I found this home for 65 in our ideal area, the budget is 120.

What we know is:

It’s currently a pet sitting service

The roof and basement leak

All the floors need replaced

And a lot of facelifts (painting, sanding, etc.)

My boyfriend is ready to break his lease, and we are set to look at it Tuesday before my job.

(Context, we didn’t want to break his lease as his roommate/best friend is behind on payments, but he doesn’t want to pause his life anymore)

My boyfriend has 4+years experience in construction and YES! We will have it inspected before we buy.

We are very excited and even if we don’t get it, it’s nice to know this isn’t just talk, and this is a good step for us
