Do you have to love a house to buy it?

Why? Essentially the question is how emotionally involved should you be in buying a home or whether you should see it as more of a business transaction and just make sure it ticks boxes.wecanhelpu wrote: »This is a very silly threadMFIT No. 810 -
Redbedhead, when I bought my flat I fell in love with it, but later when I rented I didn't exactly love the places, but came to love them. I think what makes a place 'ours', and what creates this 'love', are the things in it and what happens in it.
If the location's good, the room sizes are what you want, and so on, the 'loving' bit will come when you put your furniture, your knick-knacks, your photos

I don't think you have to love it but more feel that you could live in it happily and love the idea of the end result when you have done what you want to do to it.0

I knew it was the house for me when I got goosebump as soon as I walked in.0

You don't have to love a house before you buy it, its all about how much money you can make from it when turning it around0

Don't you just love this guy0 -
I think you are just mourning the loss of what seemed to you to be the perfect home. In reality it is quite probable that it wasn't but it can be difficult to move on when you are still in love.
May be just stop looking for a while. Time is a great healer.
Are you talking about a house?
Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.0 -
