You'll be able to stretch your dollars much further if you are in Eastern WA such as Spokane or the tri-cities, but again I'm assuming you will be limited to wherever you intend on working.

In AZ it seems like when there is one you can see multiple miles long stretches of forest that are burnt to the ground.

That said, D/F is a stretch. 

I by no stretch of the imagination am a wealthy person.  

Most of all, don't be the middle-class homeowner with the mortgage payment that stretches you to your financial limits.

The midwest and south will definitely make your money stretch

There were too many things in the inspection report, and the property was already a stretch price for me.

Again, this is my assumption and if it's the case...i hope it taught them a lesson.They had a rough stretch of 4 months at start of pandemic not expecting it will go thia long.

. $200k even will not go any further than a C class low B(is this stretching?)

To say that the US economy will collapse if people have to stay in their homes for 2 more months seems a really far stretch.
