The finish out looks very upscale. I love vintage... I am struggling with putting a smidgen of upgrade into my house. I'd say the lot was worth about $230K and the structure maybe $60K. This is a university area and people do keep these little 1940s houses, though... or add on to them... Let's hope! That is a nice coach and you are right, the price is nice.

I dunno! THAT particular conversion (Prevost) has me so stuck/ enticed...I would not hesitate to drive that! And slide outs do not entice me....seems like just more headaches and "wth" anyway. Slideouts are new anyway....just get a screened add on...hahha! I agree w/ Wade tho about areas and lots vs structures.....would REALLY suc if the lot was valued higher than the structure...if so, fergit the renovations! I live in such an area and am a realtor..sometimes the labor ain't worth the dime...your realtor should know. XOXO AHHH! I dunno!

I need the extra finger crossing... ; ) Dear Lady Di, You need to go drive a big RV! I know you can do it. That one is *very nice*... I think slide outs do make a difference, though. Dear Wade, How was your weekend camping? Regarding my house, it could get very likely get torn down. Almost all the home value is in my lot... Thanks for the comments! Jennifer Dear Barb, Thank you! I need the extra finger crossing… ; )

I find myself addicted to looking at RVs now. Thanks for the link. I aspire to possibly own something like that one day. So awesome. I figured, living in Austin, that people would be looking more for the land to build a new house on, and not necessarily to keep the house that is on it? Dunno. Seems to be popular in the older areas here in Houston. I just figured it would be the same there. That would really suck to do all of that work and then have some snooty couple come in and say "this is a PERFECT lot. Now we just gotta tear the house down and build a new one!" Good grief.

It will be interesting to follow and see what your realtor thinks. Keep us posted. I’ll keep my fingers crossed you will not have to replace the boards.
