We can't really make any determinations without more info.Birmingham has the lowest total amount paid in rent, but that could be because it's smaller; it has a higher ratio of owners to renters; it has bigger families (and thus fewer households paying rent); on average rental units are smaller in Birmingham than elsewhere; on average rental units are nicer elsewhere; and probably a dozen other things besides lower rents on equivalent units.

However, I personally think that household debt has become a scourge to our economy and poses a real threat to the American dream.

During that private sector debt build up the household sector within the private sector did not desire a high savings rate and consumed and grew the economy as well as require less of a federal government deficit.

Water was over US 281 and washed a couple of hundred of the "household size" rolling dumpsters, a few boats and some portable generators and other rental stuff across the highway.We were "waterlocked" in our little city within a city as the only 3 ways out are through "low water" crossings.

If you let one household take possession for free, whether for two days or two weeks, you need to give all the same opportunity.

It could also be run as a short-term rental, as it's close to the Navy base and there are lots of displaced households and out of town contractors around.

@Jay Hinrichs Regarding holding a single note vs a single house: holding a single house means ownership over the property and an ability to maintain more consistent cash flows.
