Around here in this county I live in, home ownership is next to
impossible,
except for spending at least $75,000 or better. The average small 3
bedroom
house, no basement or garage (slab built) on a half to full acre runs
*at
least* 75 grand or better. Go immediately outside of the county lines
of
this county, and the similar/equivalent structure is anywhere from
25-50%
less. I guess it is something about Midland county I guess.

Ryan, I went to QRZ and looked up your address, so you get one more
hit at QRZ.com. Apparently you're betw the Baycityrollers and
Saginaw.

Yeah, sorta. Midland is the third city making up what is known around here
as the "Tri-Cities."



Where I live, a 75K home is called a crack-house and a public
nuisance.

Same here.... Although the math is regionally different around the country,
that 75K can buy an WONDERFUL home in Bay City or Saginaw, but barely buy an
empty lot in Midland in some or alot of cases.



Location(cubed).

If you have housing available at 75K, and it is suitable to your
desires, and you have a steady job, go see your mortgage lender today!

My lender, is willing to back me to the amount of 40K, no money down,
stretched over 30 years! Now the hard part is finding a property within
Midland County that is close to that. Dilapidated trailers (literally
falling apart), with slimy welfare trash neighbors (renters not owners) with
more crap strewn within the yard still gets 50K or better!!!!!

(((I almost had a really cute 2 bedroom (very large bedrooms) about 2 months
ago, after a long bidding war with the people that held the estate. They
had it listed for 56K and I countered first with 35K. They countered with
47,500K. I countered again with 37,500 and they countered with 45K but
would not budge from that. Now, since it was an estate, and I would be
offering them CASH (yes, actual real paper money) for my last offer of 40K,
ya think they would have jumped on that?? Problem there was about 6 people
in the estate (the kids of the deceased) and not one could agree
apparantely.)))



Try to locate in a non-restricted neighborhood so that you can play
radio.

Of course!! Dipoles strewn around the yard enough to catch birds with like
it was an overgrown spiders web! LOL
