There's a saying in real estate... "You want the worst house in the best neighborhood"
Huh?
It's "You don't want the best or the worst house in a neighborhood."
I think it's actually "you want a bottom third house in a top third neighborhood"
I think I heard it that way. Jk
buying as investment with intention to flip: take the above sayings into account
Buying because you want to enjoy your home and let it be a blessing to you? Buy the home that YOU want, not what the next buyer down the road will want.

Not specifically agreeing or disagreeing with you but it certainly isn't the worst house in the neighborhood.
I've done the nicest house in a neighborhood trick, I knew it going in and there were mitigating factors. But it was not good at the end. I know folks who have done the worst house in a neighborhood trick, in a slow market it is doubly bad and can hurt the rental possibilities. Admittedly, in a medium or brisk market it can be OK.
