I do have a friend that was a programmer in England for about 10 years and she had a very hard time getting financing here because she had no US records of income.

I have about $15K I'm able to invest, and am torn between house hacking on an FHA loan near me (New England) or going 25% down in a much cheaper market long distance.

Not sure about the Post'75....but Worcester and other areas of central Mass and New england have "Three Deckers" everywhere.

@James WiseTD Bank acquired Banknorth in New England and Commerce Bank in NY/NJ (almost 20 years ago?).  

Subie does have 320hp though and AWD helps with New England blizzards!

The zestimate was way out there on the high side.If an unsuspecting investors in New England want to pay $75k for 825 in rent in average memphis neighborhoods, let them.

I also have a map of New England with map pins and string outlining my outer market boundary and a custom color coded map of the same with my target areas color coded by distance. 

Certainly, the vast majority would not.I expect where you are seeing SFHs under $55k, you are looking at some of the very poor rural villages, and probably mostly in the far North of the state.New England really is very picture-postcard-like.  

It is just co-incidence that the "scientists" in England shredded the global warming data instead of allowing it to be released in a Freedom of Information Act request?
