Default Would you buy a jeep with some rust?

Hey everyone! I am looking to buy my first Jeep. How much rust would you consider as "okay?"

I was wondering if I could get a second opinion on these pics from you guys Is this fixable?

that rocker panel has holes in it. if you were grind the rust bubble, you will see a hole for sure.

but if that's all there is for rust, it's easily fixable with a little know how.

That's my point. If that's all the rust. That's easy. And worth it
