Cross that with the usual (wealthy) nimbys that don't want ANY changes, and planning/building departments with layers of bureaucracy that would make Stalin proud, and you have the perfect storm of why we have a chronic housing shortage.  
Account Closed 'Get a Piece a dat REI Pie' Pattern Phenomenon: Rash Expectations?

i do admire the added funding resources aside from savings & conventional loans like hard/private money loans  -and the fastrack way to in fact generate profits from nothing, via  dishing out 'wholesale' contingency offers then upselling the crap out of the property - but like many has to be pointed out to newbies to BP, even with those a downpayment is required to invest. all in all, i'm appauled at the widespread connotation - often spun by mainstream media (ie, tv, internet) and the material they pump out, infomercials and all - that somehow people will 'discover' how they can make big money from no money. when in reality the underlying problem to me it seems to be the western norm to be making a decent salary (heck, even teens working at mcDs or whatever) and all but just be spending it day and day out but at the same time expecting somehow to get rich one day- without incrementally investing in a wealthier future any.how could adults these days chronically have no money, chronically have no creditworthiness, and *then* decide they want to start INVESTING?!

I closed exactly one of my OREO resales to a Naca buyer.... it was a long drawn out process and my experience with the Naca in Mississippi was they were highly discombobulated and a very high % of the folks never graduated from the program. your trying to take chronically bad credit risks and retrain them.And in MS if your going to sell in their program they expected a huge buy down of the rate. other wise they would not recommend us as a seller.. so our one buyer that actually closed I bought the rate down to 1.25%  the insurance payment was higher than the mortgage.. so for the buyer that actually got the home fantastic deal.. for seller I got an OREO off the books at close to retail exit.. as opposed to what happens in cash flow markets were a resale is generally to a cash flow investor for a fraction of retail value, its reality and unfortunate for the seller.In your market at that price point unless you think your selling this substantially above market I don't see the benefit to be a naca seller... but IL Naca may be much better run than the MS Naca
