Yes there are a lot of areas you can get close to 1% in, definitely around Cleveland.  

I was so angry/stressed out last year over so much talk of extending the moratorium indefinitely. 

That is not something they can do indefinitely. 

Nuclear wouldn’t exist if the government hadn’t initially developed the technology, then stepped in to insure the plants and manage the waste indefinitely (costing trillions in tax payer dollars).

Thanks everyone who chimed in. Definitely

If you are planning on living there indefinitely, then some hard money lenders offer a personal loan option which is basically a line of credit that you can use for anything. let's connect- always happy to lend advice!

If it's her primary residence and she meets the requirements of sec 121 then gain is tax free up to $250K of profit ($500K if she is married).If it is not her primary residence and she has held the property for productive investment use then it would qualify for a 1031 exchange and get to indefinitely defer all tax.But if this is a property that she bought to resell as the title indicates then it wouldn't qualify for 1031 treatment.  

She is in her late 20's, has a good job with some upward mobility but there is a history of job hopping (with a few gaps) but my wife and I could easily cover the mortgage (indefinitely) should the situation go south.

A big reason people move to CA is for job opportunities and now when you're working from home indefinitely, it makes sharing a 4-bedroom apartment in the city much less desirable than moving to somewhere with land and a lower cost of living.Yes, income taxes are higher in CA but there are also WAY MORE people in CA than any other state, so the state needs a lot of revenue.

Even if the contract covers you there’s a very small chance you could end up in court if you really pissed the seller off- the usual wholesale shenanigans have that effect on people, dragging the closing out indefinitely, parading potential buyers through the house, broken promises, etc.
