I'm guessing you'll be looking for a place that needs a bit of work, for budgetary reasons and if like me you want to put your creativity to work and make it 'your' house.
If so, if at all possible, leave yourself some renovation bucks aside from the purchase. Once you get into mortgage-land cash for DIY is hard to come by.
We left about $30k aside, in the process of doing kitchen/bathroom/lounge/a few windows/basement office-gallery/etc. fun fun fun! so cool being able to make it your own.
oh, and if you have a vision to renovate to your taste, make sure the home suits it. No point buying a colonial style place and trying to turn it into a modern masterpiece (I've seen it done well, I'm generalising a bit here).good luck.
