New home search

So, I've been looking to buy a house for a couple of years now, but finances keep causing issues. Every time I find something I like and send it to my mom and bff, they always say something negative. This last one was because the unfinished basement had some weird wiring (it is UNFINISHED), there was no dishwasher, the crime is supposedly double over what it is where I currently live, and it is too small. The house is newly renovated with a fenced in yard and well within my budget. It just sucks that they keep doing this. I just need a house that is bigger than my apartment. I have never felt home in this apartment.
