If housing goes up, you get rich. If housing goes down, you hand the house back to the stupid FHA.<br /><br />Your cavalier attitude toward turning down a free option is shocking.W.C.

Depending upon the area and the price range and the sustainability of your employment, buying a shack to hang your hat in right now might not be too bad an idea.
