> [@Locutus](#): > > typically developments are made with construction grade materials… I would never move into one personally unless it was there watching the build and I was satisfied with the work. I built a couple on summer break when i was in high school… they were silly cheap. We could frame a house in a weekend if the money was right. My first time with a nailgun was on someone’s house. The same house someone fell into the basement and broke something. lol. How long you’ve had your job plays a huge role in how much the bank will trust you. ---

I live about a mile into pendleton from the transit drive in.I personally couldnt imagine living anywhere else as i hate crowded streets/areas. Your talking half hour commute to dtown buffalo. I enjoy it out here.You can get anywhere in a realtive short time and everything you really need is on transit. I cant think of any developments in lockport.where is this one located to be exact? ---

Jot down what you want in a house. Put checks next to what each one brings to the table. Me personally would take an older house with more character than a development house (I can’t stand housing developments). I also would rather prefer to live out in the middle of nowhere than around neighbors… Links to houses? I’m sure if we see what they look like you will get an answer fast. I wish 250k could get me something decent here… 🤣 ☹ ---

choice #2 if it were me. I am very anti-taxes in WNY/Erie County. One reason why I will be building OUT of state. IMO, the only reason you would consider House #1 is for resale to a family with young childeren. Besides that, I would put your current situtation and a 5-year future look ahead as a priority for your decision. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > But on a serious note, once you own your own place for a couple of years you start to learn about what you really want in a house. I bought my house because it was relatively cheap. It still needs a lot more work. Make sure you try and find out about the neighbors too. Shitty neighbors can make for you hating your house. But… if your enough of an ass, maybe they will move away 😃 ---
