Last year I was looking to buy a house, and after I got approval for a loan my lender connected me to this realtor who told me about the USDA program. They waive the down payment 100% as a way to incentivize people to move into rural. And since I was a first time buyer they knocked 20% off the mortgage.
The crib I ended up buying was built in 65' so there was some repairs in order, but during covid I did alot of remodel jobs on the side so it didn't faze me.
As far as the town, it has a population of 3k (that's the threshold) and the only real landmarks are a gas station and mom n pops grocery store. I only hit them up once a week if that, but quickly got acquainted with everybody. Bagged a cashier from the gas station and a customer when I was shopping for groceries.
Right off the bat I noticed both are always delighted to see me, constantly smiling, much brighter disposition than a "metropolitan" female. No fights or arguments whatsoever after nearly 6 months. I've thrown hints that I'm not going to be exclusive with either and neither were disappointed or took it the way I was expecting.
Despite that...there are some drawbacks that slightly annoy me.. Both lack any type of booksmarts. Simple questions like "What country is Toronto in?" leave them stumped. Both have never been on an airplane, or traveled further than 2 states away.
Both have never been to a "real" concert and are stuck in 2015 musically. The one in her 20s thought Fetty Wap is a musical genius and was completely unaware he had fallen off and went to prison. The one in her 30s had no clue who Drake was, I had a comprehensive playlist from 09' to 22'' and she didn't recognize any of the songs.
Anyone else dated a country chick? I always assumed they didn't exist outside the South and it's like a whole new world has opened up to me. Out here in Cincy there's atleast several of these little towns that are like 10 minutes out of the suburban areas.
