Starter House Renovation Fun

I never really thought of it before earlier today when I made a challenge for myself to start out a sim with only 20k simoleons and I renovated Lagoon Look (the same lot as above) with only that. It was actually really fun, and I think I'll do challenges for myself more often. And I was able to do way more than I thought I would be able to. Maybe we can set a budget for this thread since they are starter houses, but it could be a bit, after all if someone buys a house they generally have saved for awhile to do so. What do you think a good simoleon limit would be? 50k maybe? Just a single straight motherload cheat amount? I'll do a starter house within that limit too, see how far I can go with it! I hope that you do one - I will be excited to see! And I'll be excited to see what starter house you choose, if you do one!
