It’ll be interesting to watch how much these NoVA counties ratings slip due to the massive influx of 10s of thousands of illegals pouring into (source; yesterday’s Bull Elephant article) and ultimately settling there with their families.
I’ll predict “none”. Illegal immigrants don’t automatically qualify for a $400K mortgage and aren’t going to be able to come up with $2500 worth of rent. Plus, I find it hard to believe that “10s of thousands” are “pouring into” the area.
