Great. Just remember that having to deal with the Alabama Supreme Court carries an additional cost.
There's a reason for everything. But Montgomery, Alabama is a bargain housing-wise. You can get a real decent home for 100-150k no problem, and a gem for a bit more. The city has history (a lot not positive for white people) and a newly reelected black Democrat mayor who is pursuing rejuvenation. Some cool things are happening.
I understand the history and cost-related benefits to home buying. I just couldn't live in that kind of conservative political climate.
It's not to be underestimated.
