I think I may have found it

As you may know, we have been thinking, quite seriously, about finally buying our first home. There are a great deal of hurdles in our way: not having the full 20%, housing prices being out of this world expensive, my hating this area with a passion, etc. I also want to be as close to my parents as possible and have the husband's communte be something managable. We took a road trip on Sunday to a town called Warrenton and I am completely and utterly in love. This town has everything that I am looking for: It is NOT repeat NOT considered northern Virginia, it has great small town appeal, but also has grocery stores and a Walmart (I know I'm a sellout, but their prices are great), beautiful scenery, many outdoor activities very close by. It seems like an absolutely wonderful place to raise a family. The only problem that I have is that it is 45 minutes away from my parents and about a 45 min-an hour commute for hubsters. We will still probably have to buy a foreclosure, but it will be a foreclosure with an acre of land. What to do, what to do?
