@Maria Diaz rule number 1, don't invest in liberal state or city.

Lastly, if you need a HUD Consultant, this would be in a case of a full / Standard 203k, instructions in resource link above.All this is super simple, I say this from experience, so I am fairly liberal with this statement.

Checking the local liberal, and conservative news websites could be a good insight on the local community and get a overall perspective. 

It will not take long for the most liberal city in America to figure that out (sorry Berkeley, New York or Boulder if you are offended).  

Perhaps this will make me rethink investing in long standing liberal states and weigh that more heavily in my consideration, but I have no thoughts on abandoning RE altogether. 

The new American posture that all consumers are victims and have no control over their personal choices has become a common theme since the start of the Obama era, and is still widely promoted by liberals as the reason that we need to move to more of a Bernie Sanders' socialist agenda.The real scandal that the PBS is afraid to talk aboutEqually damaging for the liberals who support and manage PBS is the 800 pound gorilla of real estate lies: that the American taxpayer is supporting the apartment industry.

Maybe you could network with some folks in Amarillo, TX, Garden City or Liberal KS.Best of luck - lots of good info here.

We wanted somewhere liberal, at least medium sized city, etc.

I ended up at a liberal arts college and during that time, through collective occurrences that are too complicated to explain right now, I stumbled upon business and entrepreneurship and the opportinities inherent in all that.

I was happy and sad at the same time, excited, liberated and a little scared.
