Would you rather -

Buy a cheap house straight up without a mortgage, but it isn't the best, needs work, not in the best location, rooms on the small side, etc what ever you can think of.

Buy a house which is potentially better but with a small mortgage because you're going to need to borrow some, it's a better house but still not the best in whatever ways you could imagine.

Buy a house which is more like what you want but it means a bigger mortgage. As such the bigger the mortgage the more you pay out and the less cash you have each month.

Bought 3 houses that needed doing up then sold for profit. That's how i own my home outright now.

I bought the 3rd house with what I'd made in the first 2. In the UK most people could afford to buy a rundown house thou! What would you need up in Scotland Thrones? On my road there's a 2 bed bungalow in a sought after area that needs dragging out if the 70s for 260k
A 2 bed house you need about 120k minimum with a 30k plus budget but you would t make much profit.

First option is usually a good bet if you have the money to put into it.

I personally am going to build a large A frame house myself. Open parking underneath.

I would want the middle option. I don't want to be house poor, nor do I want to live in a s**t hole

Middle option if it's in a good area, if not and you're really wanting to buy a house I Me would do the third option if it's the only one in a decent area.

I prefer to own a nice sized house and have more land than a big house with little land.
