You won't be getting a $300,000 mortgage from me.
Trim your sails some and get the best $150-200K fixer you can find.
Ideally that'll be in a nicer $200-250,000 neighborhood with good schools
Put your wife to work painting and landscaping day to day
and then you take on a "fix up project" about every quarter
using all that extra cash you think you can afford a $350,000 house with.
After a couple years... poke your head up over the hedge and see how you're doing.
