My uncle the electrician told me to always buy the crappiest house on the best street. He was right.

@rose_hart31 Totally. You buy the problem you can fix, not the one you can't. Street matters more than drywall.

Oh your uncle was absolutely RIGHT about that one. It's Amazing how much of a difference the street can make even when the house needs work. My friend bought a fixer-upper on a gorgeous quiet block last year and her property value is already going up just from the neighborhood being solid. Meanwhile her cousin bought a perfect house on a street with tons of rentals and noisy neighbors and now she's stuck trying to sell it. The location is EVERYTHING because you can always fix up a house but you can't move the street it sits on. Smart advice from your uncle for sure.
