Well yeah. There's parts in Columbus that are going down as well as other parts that are going up faster than where I live now.
this sounds incredibly familiar but I just can't quite place where I've heard it before

Shali, I really feel your pain. Dan and I intended to move out of this place a while ago, but one day I was walking through the kitchen and realized we had a waterfall inside our kitchen window which is a floor to ceiling window that spans almost the entire back wall of our kitchen. They had failed to clean out the gutters for long enough that water was just flowing down the back wall of our house rotting the wood siding and warping the wood. We live in a condo so we called the condo association who told us they didn't have the money to fix it since people in our neighborhood weren't paying their association fees. That was June. Finally a couple weeks ago they started addressing the problem. I'm sure there is significant mold and water damage but the condo association will probably only do the bare minimum repairs so there is no further damage. It is beyond frustrating. Our only recourse would be to apply for permits, have the repairs done on our own, and then sue the condo association whom we already know doesn't have the money. Anyway, it sounds like we have similar damage to our homes and similar worries about it all. Hope things work out for you.
I don't know about you, but I'd have a real problem saving up $300K in cash if I also had to pay for a place to rent in the meantime.
This. I think using gov't underwriting should be a last resort since they actually wind up being more expensive loans.
My dad was an HVAC guy and we didn't hang out with carpenters and electricians, only other HVAC guys and a plumber. Of course my dad was the upper crust of HVAC. He was an air balancing engineer.
Isn't it that way in much of the country that's not awesome like here or Cali or NYC?

NY is mixed bag assuming you mean greater NYC area. Manhattan is just stupidsauce.
Shal, I found something that might help you
Is called a 203k Rehab mortgage offered by the FHA, might be possible to refinance into if your mortgage isn't upside down.
