Being within reasonable distance to a city, restaurants, HEBs as opposed to walmart, domain, gyms, ect. is generally a safer bet. 

As someone who's worked with many contractors, this is a for sure way of making enemies with contractors as opposed to them becoming your allies/friendsContractors will despise going out there on site knowing that you aren't the decision maker and have no plans of actually conducting the work he's giving you the bid for.

Hopefully we are able to all gather our resources to oppose these types of legislation. 

@Joe Splitrock an increase in rates may cut the buyer pool in half, so as opposed to the majority of homes receiving 20 plus offers over asking, at least what I'm seeing in my market, it'll instead be 10 offers, which is still an indication of high demand.

It can make better sense financially as opposed to putting a big 20% down payment and then making all the necessary purchases to get it ready.
