Hardly a yuppie, I just have 2 kids and an apartment wasnt cutting it for the size. We found a house about 40 grand cheaper than usual since it was a foreclosure, went in and painted the insides ourselves....ripped out all the carpets and I put down hardwood laminate. Looks great by the way. We got lucky kinda, house was on market for 48 hours when we snatched it. ( with no help from anyone including the Gov. or Acorn).
