Iraq war veteran Roberto and his German wife Carina are ready to trade their rented high-rise condo in downtown Raleigh for a single-family home with a yard for their three-year-old son Diego. With the help of a VA loan program, they have a budget of $235,000. But will they be able to reach a compromise between Carina's preference for an older home with charm in downtown Raleigh and Roberto's dream of a big new house in the suburbs?
