To an extend, it is a 2-sides of the tracks city, with one side having your Chick-Fila and Lowe's and the other side having many boarded up homes in a row on certain streets.

Josh’s Take: A Great Time for BuyersWe’re seeing some incredible opportunities right now — builders offering rates as low as 3.875% on new homes and sellers willing to cover closing costs or buy down your interest rate.

1.0some offer as low as .8 but never seen any get funded.

Demand is strong, vacancy is low, and it has that established neighborhood stickiness that tends to hold value even during slower markets.

I would get a couple more bids. 14K can be on the high end, 7K is the low end.

Wondering if this would technically be possible:Could I "use" my brother who has less than great credit to obtain an FHA loan at a low-down payment, (I guess I would cosign??).

Think Phoenix, Austin, Tampa, Las Vegas. . .the same markets that overheated during the pandemic surge.For borrowers with low down payments and rapid appreciation expectations, a 3–5% dip in value can erase equity fast.Negative equity isn’t a nationwide story, it’s a localized one.

Protect yourself with contingencies, clear EMD terms, and attorney-reviewed templates, then mirror your end buyer’s contract to keep friction low and speed high.
