west coast is having issues.. 

The FHA self sufficiency test is the so difficult for the north side of the city and parts of the west and south sides. 

unless of course your a math wizz but most folks are not.and especially at least out west were there will be questions about township and range etc etc. 

North Georgia, Western NC, eastern TN, even possibly southwest VA and a part of West VA. 

Others like the low cost of the mid-west and have the, skills, time and energy to manage a project long distance.What strategy to deploy will depend on your goals and what your skills, lifestyle, and capital allow you to accomplish and the balance of those 3.

Hey BP community,I am brand new to REI and wanted to take the time to ask some questions to learn more about the market.First and foremost I have been looking at properties in West Ashley & Johns Island to house hack.- Looking for rental friendly area- Want to be close to the beach / downtown Charleston- I am more interested in Johns Island due to tax dollars being put into that area#1 What does a good Charleston deal look like?

My father has roughly 14 acres of land about 15 min west of Asheville.
