If it's a seller's market it's a 2 catch 22 for a primary residence.I'm almost debt-free and will then be ready to transition from my current job as a truck driver to something where I'm home every day and can move forward with REI.

The federal ban on evictions has been extended yet again, bringing relief to tens of millions of renters struggling to catch up.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended its federal moratorium on eviction for non-payment of rent until June 30.

@Stephen Brown Hey thanks for catching that error!

We can catch up before the date to discuss your plans; just let me know.

Early last spring, the Federal Reserve intervened to stabilize mortgage markets and push down interest rates to historic lows, which boosted affordability and increased demand.Fearful of catching the virus in a cramped living environment, more multi-family tenants sought out a place of their own.

These are the only people in the world that claim to contentiously catch COVID, but were "fired" due to the pandemic and "do not work".
