maybe folks in that instance don't drive as nice of car  and or eat out as much.. forgo their 100 dollar a week starbucks habit or give up smoking.. and still buy homes..

I may have to forgo Craigslist from now one, it's too much hassle.

Looking to purchase my first home in the next few months. 2-3 bedroom single family house unless I can find a duplex that I could qualify for. Going

So in a college town, song with general unemployment, rentals may be tough for the next 6-12 months (or more depending on who you listen to).

And “renting” from ANY type of family member = doesn’t count:Remember the first time you went to the school dance and busted out a makeout during the final song (Freebird!)?

Either way, it's NOT the end of the world but only part of real estate venture as it's summed up in Green Day's song "Good Riddance":Another turning point, a fork stuck in the roadTime grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to goSo make the best of this test and don't ask whyIt's not a question but a lesson learned in timeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeSo take the photographs and still frames in your mindHang it on a shelf in good health and good timeTattoos of memories and dead skin on trialFor what it's worth, it was worth all the whileIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your life--------------Good luck

If you think you are not giving up time for money you are mistaken...My reasoning for going and leaching off of some other guys great idea is simple.

:mrgreen: I actually started singing that song in my head WillAnyways, I thought I might bring the topic back to earth :lol: Chris, I target the neighborhoods in which I know my buyers are looking for.

Other than available capital are there any other pros/cons for going one way or the other that we should be considering?

My wife and have been stationed here for going on 4 years now.
