@Russell J Howard I'm originally from the thumb in MI and have been living in Los Angeles the last few years so may be a bit removed from current prices in Livingston County these days, but if you have ~$15,000 to put towards a down payment, that could get you to around the $400K-$425K price point with a 3.5% down FHA loan (before factoring your closing costs, reserves, etc.).
