So I did as much research as i could online and found that all the cheap properties were in pretty rough neighborhoods and the local economy did not seem to support flipping in any significant volume.I then looked into Memphis TN, again all properties under 40k were in rough neighborhoods.I'm now leaning towards San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, or HoustonThe only problem with them is finding a house under 40k for us to live in, I did find a few Manufactured homes in the country close to Dallas and some a little over a hour north of Houston, I would be fine living in one of the manufactured homes close to Dallas for quite some time, my only issue is tying up most of my free cash in a house that i cannot refi to free up the cash again.Thanks for taking the time to read my rather long post and i look forward to hearing your suggestions!

It's not what the Museum is supposed to be about - but it's exactly how many visitors see it.Dialog Ltd, in Hong Kong, run a project called Hope Tees which designs and manufactures t-shirts to raise money for worthy causes.

The end result is that we'll be forced to live within our means; to actually save money; to have a lower standard of living; to actually start manufacturing things again in the US; and to be more self-sufficient (without all the government handouts).

Banks,car manufactures what's next your local Outback steak house or how about that brothel down the street I'm sure that would help the economy.
