Then again I don't have a JOB that gets in the way of my business so I can afford to be there.Robin

If the property stays vacant you can afford to make the payments.Go to a family member or friend and borrow money to buy the property at least you do not have to worry about an expiring contract.

•In today’s economy, affordable housing is in HIGH demand.

The frustrating part of this is that I have other homes I'd like to look at but don't want to put mulitple bids on multiple homes as the bulk of our funds are sort of hanging out there waiting to see if this one goes through.

But it is worth trying; where are values compared to LONG term trends, Where is pricing relative to rents, where are prices relative to household income and affordability?

Affordable housing is also a plus...

Biggest concerns are climate, cost of living, cost of buying a small condo or home being affordable, and the potential of starting a business.

It galls me that people who bought house they couldn't afford on loans they couldn't pay are going to get forbearances that let them stay in those houses.

Find a house you can rent that meets your needs and is affordable.

It's becoming affordable to live here finally.
