FICO scores and Mortgage Defaults - Discussion

See . . . you're a freak. You're actually buying something affordable.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU . . .

 

I'd love to be able to do that! Where I live, that price will only buy you a mobile home in a trailer park with a 2-3 hr (each way) daily commute.

 

Move to the sticks with me . . .

 

Yeah, but the banjo playing scares me a bit!

 

Deliverance was filmed in Georgia . . . we play fiddles.

Seriously, WV is not nearly as "redneck" as portrayed in the media.

 

I know, just ribbing you a bit! I used to be a VA resident myself.

 

Depends what part of WV, doesn't it? I mean, you live in the civilized area. Some parts of WV I've been in are pretty redneck!!

 

You are going to think I am a real freak of nature, my house is paid for.

 

How dare you! That's "Un-American"!!

 

ENIGMA YOU FREAK!

Yes, Hedwig, some parts of WV are scary. I do live in one of the urban parts I will admit.

 

I know some parts of WV are scary. When I lived in NC and went to Kentucky we went through some of those parts!

 

I don't know what parts those would have been. Sounds like SWVA to me, not WV.

 

It probably was in southern WV. We were going to Covington, which is up near Ohio. We lived in Raleigh area. It's been over 25 years ago. I don't remember all the towns or roads, but I remember an interstate that seemed really scary--some places didn't even have decent guard rails.

 

Oh, that is going from Bluefield to Charleston and yes, the interstate system is disturbing there on first impression. Not much by way of towns until you reach Beckley and then the Charleston/Huntington Metro area.

 

i thought this article would be relevant to this thread; the top 10 most expensive housing markets. What is extraordinary is the % of median income spent on housing!

Now I feel like just a whiner. My market didn't even make the list

I guess that just shows no matter how bad you think you have it, it can always be worse.

 

Mine made it! Not sure how I feel about it!!

 

I can't believe the DC area isn't there!!

Good find, Biz!!
