I was looking at some bank owned foreclosures, which were ok but not great, and then I decided to drive into a new constuction community and was blown away, at $200k I could have a brand new 3,000 sqft 3 bed with game room, great room, living room, dining room, .5 acres, community pool, basketball, tennis, soccer only $45 HOA. 30 minutes from the center of the major city in that state.

- home of the 2014 NCAA national Champion Women's Hockey Team

The entire community has the sameclubhouse,gym room, swimming pool and couple of tennis courts.

Hi My name is Henry,I'm from up state Schenectady ny about 20 min West of Albany.I work full time as an electric Planner, love to be active, playing tennis, working out, etc.I have owned 1 two family years ago it only made $100 a month after all expenses.

I am considering Champions Real Estate School.

If that HOA fee includes "T" fees, free golf cart, pool, sauna, tennis courts, clubhouse, a 34' slip at the marina and HOA limo service with loaded cable, parking garage, storage and utilities with trash service, you might have a deal!

In the big picture, blame lies not just with one president who was the champion of the deregulation (president bush), but with the society that thought it could get something for nothing...such people elected a man who would try to get them what they wanted.

Champion is by far the best, they do a full inspection report and a video walk through as well.

Areas that might be worth checking out going north (not all in Montgomery Co) that might fit your criteria would be Tomball, Klein area, Cypress, Champions, a few sections of the Woodlands, Humble just off the top of my head.

I live in the Champions Forest area, what about you?
