Houses
I found two houses, one that I love that might be less practical, and one that I like reasonably well that is more practical but has no character.
Now I am deciding between the houses and a nice condo I looked at yesterday. The condo is easier in the short run, a bit cheaper overall, but a much slower investment should I want/need to resell relatively soon. The houses will require more work (although are perfectly livable at present) and are probably going to be more expensive in terms of utilities at the very least, but they provide more space for my family and will become profitable in terms of an investment much sooner.
I am torn.

House, girl. You’re so happy in your own space, you’d never have to worry about your kids making too much noise or running in the house or banging things on the floor or walls. I know condos are better built than apartments, but still. You could do the work over time if you wanted and have the space you need NOW. What are your priorities around buying - is it investment or livability?
