If you take the lower value areas the only reason people choose to live there is the affordability really.

I like starting in the Midwest because it's affordable and offers good cash flow.

When lenders use the term "Rural" it can be very frustrating for a borrower because the term is rarely clearly defined.

Not sure how often that happens and to the extent it does, how much individuals are receiving.Trying my best not to politicize this, but have to add that massive bailouts are going to continue to get harder to afford with the high federal debt we have today.

It is anger, stubbornness, frustration, "if I can't get my house no one will".

At the time I didn't think she could afford it but right now I'm glad she did.

There are social service orgs in MD that offer free legal advise to people in such matters if they can't afford to hire an attorney.

At this point, I'm very frustrated that after putting this deal under contract I won't be able to close it. 

What’s more frustrating is the complete lack of available support.

Someone that can come in with high % equity (maybe 1031) it would be great long term and short term cash flow with a lower loan amount.I’m in the realm where I can afford it not a big enough dent where my life is being changed at all really.
