My uncle told me to "never buy a house with a basement" and I should have listened
He owned a ranch house in Texas and swore basements were just money pits. Bought a fixer-upper in Ohio last spring with a finished basement for the extra space. After two heavy rains in June, I spent $2,800 on a sump pump and waterproofing because the carpet kept getting soaked. Has anyone else had basement buyers remorse or is it just my luck with this house?

Oh come on, you got a finished basement in Ohio for cheap and you're mad it needs a sump pump? That's just standard Midwest living, like complaining about snow in January.

Toss a backup battery pump in there too, power goes out and that basement's a pool.
