So this is what I am thinking: The market sucks and I am looking at buying a bilevel which is currently bank owned. Awesome price. Around 130k. Minor repairs needed. I work at a base which is scheduled to move in 2011 to MD. I have heard that the government will buy your home at the national average if you cannot sell it when it comes time to transfer. Is this true? If so does anyone have a link for the information? I cannot find it. Is anyone familiar with this process? I heard they will also pay the closing costs for selling and the closing costs for buying your new home. Would this be a wise decision? I can get approved. In two years if I cannot find a job at another NJ base - I have a guaranteed buyer (the feds) ? Makes it hard not to break even if not make money considering the low price I am purchasing the home at. And if I can find a transfer position I bought a nice house for a great price. What do you guys think?
