If you find the sweetheart deal with plenty of room and a win-win situation, I say go for it.

Currently asking $1650 and my monthly payment on my HML is $1200 so there's plenty of room there.

I'm just saying cash is the safe bet for now and could put you in the position to make some good moves in the future.If you're not risk averse and have plenty of time to rebuild your nest egg, there are several stocks that seem poised to profit and/or rebound right now. 

If you hypothetically PM me, my canned auto reply will invite you to book a time directly on my calendar and give you direction on how to do so. 

Now I'm no expert in the Tulsa market but I did plenty of driving and scouting out houses (it's just what I do) and they had homes in historic areas within striking distance to downtown for under $200,000.

There will be plenty of other opportunities out there without the headaches:)

Searching on "Real Estate" will generate plenty of options as does "Women" for professionals, empowerment, networking, etc.

Sounds like you have a place to hold on to, to really dive in with, and learn plenty of “real estate”.

Plenty of good advice.

Price is just one person's opinion at any given time, with input from plenty of other people surrounding the transaction.Go for it and good luck and best wishes.
