Okay, I just got a job offer in Durham and currently I live in Hickory. I think I am going to go ahead and accept the job since i've been waiting a long time for this specific job... and there's a good chance I'll be going to grad school at UNCG in the fall so I'd rather commute from the Durham area than Hickory... etc. etc. The point is... I do not have a lot of money but I have good credit (pay car payments, students loans, etc.) and I am looking to possibly BUY instead of rent. Since I don't have a lot of money for a down payment I was wondering... what about foreclosure priced homes?? are they legit? are they all haunted and/or former crack houses?

and what about the advertisements to buy a new home with no money down? is that a scam? how high are monthly payments on things like that?

i really just would like to buy a one-bedroom townhome but it looks like all of those are way above what i can afford.

maybe i should just give in and pay rent at some apartment complex.

thanks for any advice.
