    vwsung18t - I have some friends that are handy that helped me get started. I hired an electrician of a friend friend to do the wiring, I took a week off work and acted as his assistant.

    The reason i mention this is we had a really small budget when we were looking to buy. Our option were to buy a house needing lots of renovations in a part of town we liked or a duplex in 80's suburbs. It is a little stressful, and time consuming but also really rewarding. I wouldn't want to do it alone though... my wife has done so much work also.
