Thanks for the advice. (speaking of doing me dirty, they laid me off once in the past but I returned a few years later) I do love my job but being an art director/graphic designer I can do my job remote, assuming I can find a remote position. The local area I'm in isn't great for my field.

I would definitely rent before buying to get a lay of the land/lifestyle.

Wild. For what it's worth, I had a friend who was going to sell his house here to move abroad and he had a sub-1k mortgage. He was going to list it. In the end, they rented it out still making plans to leave indefinitely and after a few months, realized the plan was to come back after a year to their old house. So, my advice is always to test out the waters before making a very expensive and permanent change. Glad you're open to renting instead.
