I genuinely hope you're correct! I have considered this, and am currently wondering where I would actually like to save and invest in a property just as you described. My dream has always been rural but within driving distance of a metro area. The only struggle I have run into is actually being able to effectively save money, but I'm trying my damnedest!

I'm glad to hear that you made a great choice with your home :)

It's hard. I took out a loan against my 401K to do it when rates were rock bottom. I'm glad I did because at the time I considered just waiting until the pandemic was over, but that would have priced me put of this town if I did that.
