The FHA self sufficiency test is the so difficult for the north side of the city and parts of the west and south sides. 

Gilford has Gunstock in the winter, Winnipesauke in the summer, and the Belknap range which has some great easier hiking trails with beautiful views of the lake.

What price range would you be looking for?

Some BRRRR markets I see in those price ranges are Columbus, Birmingham, Jacksonville, Tyler, St Louis. 

If you don’t have the right temperament and sufficient cash reserves, you should consider selling the property and investing proceeds in passive type investments. 

Especially for someone looking in the ~200k price range.

Without running numbers, I think you are looking at an asset that makes 8-10% over the next several years with an upside in the 15-20% range if you see high single digit/double digit appreciation.

Not in everyones price range .

The latest rates and terms I have seen are for rates in the mid 6% to 7% range. 

I live in Kennesaw and I’m interested in getting a house but in my price range the houses are selling significantly higher than asking so I was thinking maybe building might be an option even with the lumber shortages.
