These laws were made to help low income buyers but has ultimately hurt them with brokers cutting off loans under this amout.
Community Loans, and NC Bond loans are good alternatives.
VA foreclosures offer pretty good Vendeee financing, but the houses are often trashed.

It certainly isn't impossible. It is just another niche reason that anyone who is serious about home buying shops for money prior to shopping for a home.

Can you be more specific about the development, location, etc.? Feel free to PM me. My Mom is looking to relocate down here in a small house/townhouse/whatever but she's looking to keep it as inexpensive as possible.

Default Louisburg & Lake Royale

I recently sold a home in Lake Royale. There is a vast array of home types and price ranges which may suit you. It would be in the upper limit of your commute time but worth the drive for a nice lifestyle.
