I ask this question because trying to see if i am stretch my budget to say 600k and see if i can get a SFH in one of these places.Also how easy is it rent in cary/apex or morrisville? 

For example, there was a long stretch where I was buying exclusively buying houses that were built in the late 80s and early 90s.

The only caveat will be that you will have to factor the HEL or HELOC payment into your debt to income ratios (DTI)  so make sure you do the calculation or your lender helps walk you through that calculation so that there are no issues on the upleg purchase transaction.You can take a longer term on your HEL to stretch out that principal and interest payment or use a HELOC to lessen the DTI load since HELOC's typically are interest only(IO).

I don't typically do this so I don't know of any current promotions, but these are out there and are great for stretching out payments when needed.

I feel thin… sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread."

Also, you can think about going into another area to stretch your cash as much as possible.I won't lie.

So the tax Bill will be stretched out over time.t2.

Soon" is a big stretch.

That would be normal maintenance not unlike having to occasionally stretch carpet to keep it tight.

Then, you saved a ton of money when you stretch another 15 to 20 years our of your existing roof.One of the main reasons I was able to make millions of dollars in the real estate business is because of the way I don't waste money.
