So you will naturally see more of those higher-priced homes in those markets.

@Tyler Bushey nice try, those of us with oil are often a mile or miles from natural gas and propane is $$$ and even if you had gas if  you have one boiler it doesn't solve the problem. 

You will generally get people who are more nomadic in nature.

@Bruce Woodruff You’ve captured the unpredictable nature of real estate perfectly!

However, I have no idea how to choose from the remaining cities, it seems there are a lot of potential options:- Midwest - Michigan (ie: Grand Rapids) seems to have options, also seeing Columbus Ohio and Indianapolis coming up- Reno - I've seen mentioned several times on here- Pittsburgh / Philadelphia / Twin Cities - All mentioned as lower cost to get started, and seem to be experiencing growthI'd ideally like to find a place that has strong potential for future growth, a diversified economy, and I don't mind living in (being close to nature would be a plus). 

Nature campaigns, direct mail, text services, accounting, etc all in one place. 

Some allow cash, most require the 10% deposit to be paid with a certified check made out to the referee but there is no verification of funds.

I just wondered if I had any recourse since they said they only allowed accredited investors but they allowed me knowing I wasn’t certified as one. 

This means 20-25% for a down payment, and it has to be your money that you're using (verifiably in an account that belongs to you).Though there are programs that lend up to 90/100 to first-time investors, those programs usually don't work in Maine due to the rural nature.
