@Kyle Lam,To expand on @Benjamin Louie's Huntsville recommendation, several towns in the metro area (but outside the city proper itself) may also be worth a closer look.For example, you have areas like Decatur (25 miles southwest from downtown Huntsville), Athens (30 miles west of downtown), and Meridianville (10 miles north of downtown).Homes in these suburbs are roughly 20% to 30% cheaper than in Huntsville proper, but you can potentially benefit from the same demographic and economic tailwinds as you would by buying in Huntsville itself.

I don't think outcomes have anything to do with the financing method, it's the underwriting and not getting yourself into a deal that you haven't stress tested on paper to make sure you are conservative and protected in different economic scenarios 

Economic Tailwinds • Job growth at 2.4% YOY, driven by healthcare, logistics, and life sciences. • Major investments like Eli Lilly’s $5.3B expansion and the new Indiana Convention Center add long-term stability.
