Depends on my character. For Rics I want a nasty one room shack that looks like it'll fall over if you sneeze on it. Cracks and holes all in the wood. I'd like a thatched roof patched with holes so you can see the sky and it leaks when it rains. Might be nice to have a trapdoor under the bed that leads to the cellar that would, of course, house tons and tons of ale, wine, mead, lager, beer, etc.
If it's possible to have two houses, his second would be a brothel/tavern. Of course Rics would have no employees, but he will always swear on his life it's the best brothel in the lands. He'll also never let on that he owns the place.
And if you can't have two houses Rics will simply pick a public tavern and claim it is the best brothel in the lands.
