Note that in Philadelphia mortgage foreclosures are also conducted as sheriff sales, and the state laws and rules to be followed are quite distinct for those two varieties of sheriff sale.

That is a distinction I could have gone my whole life and never missed. ;-) We can have lunch and I'll share the details. 

The largest populated military post in the US. 

I've thought about an FHA loan so I don't have to put down as much because I want to get my car paid off early, wiping out my second largest bill. 

Also, Pinewood Studios (located in Fayetteville) is the largest studio complex in U.S. outside of Hollywood.

Las Vegas is easily 5 distinct neighborhoods.

@Marty TrueIn my opinion the largest benefit is that the gains on the sale are tax free if you hold the full 10 years.

This distinction if of course most important when you need to use cash out proceeds to pay down credit cards used for rehab or keep the ball rolling and re invest for more flips/investments.  

So these fine distinctions matter quite a lot to me.
