I’m looking for a house, looking to spend 50-70k. Don’t mind a fixer upper. Looking in the West side, but I’d go for allentown depending on specific location, and the house.
I’m huge on architecture. If it has potential, I don’t mind doing a shitload of work. but if its a new fabbed home, i don’t want it.
I am also curious about foreclosure properties. where can I find out about them?
and please, lets not make this a debate about houses in buffalo and allentown. this is where I want to live, and it’s not the question I’m asking.
Also, anyone know of good realitors for these neighborhoods?

when I was looking for homes, I just searched for “buffalo realitors” (sp?) and just went thru them and bookmarked the ones I liked (you can usually search by price) and then went thru them and narrowed it down.
just a word of caution… most forclosed homes you’ll find will most likely need alot of work, from my experiances atleast… most of the ones I was looking at need a good chunk of imediate $$$ thrown into them before they were even livible. good luck man… I have no experiance with that other thing you mentioned

i dont mind putting a lot of work in a house, if its worthwhile. if what i buy the house for, plus what it would take to fix it up, would equate to what i could buy a house already ready for, it wouldn’t be worth it
but that’s why i’m trying to buy now, so I can have all summer to fix it up
