Canesha,All due respect, your comparing apples to oranges.

I’m from Orange County, CA, myself, and I started investing in NC while still living there.

@Michael Glunk I’d get a keurig and a creative assortment or coffee pods, stock the fridge up with breakfast type things, OJ, Apple juice, 1/2&1/2, medium size 2% milk, small fruit basket with bananas, apples, oranges, and some muffins from grocery store in a plastic 4 pack container so they will last several days.

You could try and send a crying letter of explanation begging BEFORE you list and see what Fannie says, but you need to have a real reason other than we don't like it here...Do not sneak or lie and try and do a wrap around or some lease option, you might end up wearing an orange suit plus the fine. 

They want to have the best looking properties in the best neighborhood however if you are a real investor then you look for a places to invest where your numbers allows you and often if you move away from the big cities there is plenty of low hanging fruits.

It displays what I know for a fact to be A+++ neighborhoods in towns that I've spent decades in with $1M+ homes, that I know are some of the safest and high end neighborhoods out there, as dark orange.

Dave Ramsey says “you can put your money in a fruit jar and come out better” when compared to Social Insecurity.

Licensed contractors run a business like a business and unlicensed do not / of day many spend more on unlicensed because they don’t show up after you pay them upfront, the work can be shoddy and end up hiring licensed anywaysOh go pull permit and hire unlicensed and if a deck fails YOU will be liable since you pulled the permit and in court when it comes out you hired unlicensed contractors and if something bad were to happen not only the financial liability but would you look good in an orange jumpsuit?

Underground wells and aquifers don’t have state boundaries, so these deep water wells stand to harm communities in neighboring states, along with Mexico, and all so that you can get the same fruits and vegetables year-round in the grocery store.

I was mentally preparing myself to be without power all month.Tornados and hurricanes is a apples/oranges comparison in my opinion.
