Find a Top Real Estate Agent Near You
Should I buy a house in the mountains or flatland?
I have cash - enough to get me an average home in the mountains but not a good one on an acre of land. Any advice or suggestions David

I would highly recommend that you reach out to a local REALTOR and get answers on the local market from a REALTOR that knows this area and can walk you through what your ultimate real estate goals look like for your personal situation. This will also depend on what you are looking to accomplish long-term and what the local market activity looks like. If you need help finding a local REALTOR I am always happy to help connect you to a professional that knows your area.

Hey, you have to start somewhere! Nothing wrong with average. You can stay there a few years and hopefully you gain some equity in it and then you can sell it for more and put it towards a home thats more than average to you.

This depends on your own personal preferences and lifestyle. Buying a property in the mountains may be ideal for those who enjoy outdoor activities and a more rural lifestyle, while a flatland property may be preferable for those who prefer a more urban environment and the conveniences of city life. Ultimately, the decision is up to you.

Consider using some of the cash as a down payment and finance the rest and get what you want. Provided you buy a property that is in an area that will appreciate, the value will increase over time and with improvements minimizing the costs associated with financing. Keep your cash.
