With that much money I could buy 8 houses like the one I live in right now.
Where is this magical land of under $200k houses?
Places without anything around you want/need
I mean, if all you want is mediocre food chains, fast food, a bowling alley, and a movie theater, you're pretty set. That's not enough for me, hence why I left.
Some don't have the theater or bowling alleys anymore
I like in a UK town of 37k people, and we have neither. The last cinema closed long enough ago to still have a poster for The Woman in Black outside.
I live in St. Louis and you can still get decent houses in nice neighborhoods in the 200 - 300k range though it is getting a bit harder.
St Louis is shrinking pretty rapidly so it is not surprising to find decently priced homes.
If you want some big city live’n, this place in Wyoming’s capital is 160k and has a killer Kiss room.
Ah, so it's a tear-down
My mom bought a tear-down for less than $100k in a small Southern city last year. It really needs a shit ton of work and we'll probably sink another $200k into it over the next 10 years. We are basically going to replace the entire house, in stages as we can afford it. But the point is that 1) she can live in it during this time, and 2) she's building equity in it.
Still, I'd rather rent in California than own in the South. Good for her though.
800sqft.
Do you only get that room? 😂
With a room like that, do you need anymore?
A kitchen would be nice lol
It's got one. Here's the virtual tour from the listing. https://tour.corelistingmachine.com/tour/titan/?id=8347303&_seoAddress=716-Russell-Ave-Cheyenne-WY-92973&
Oh I didn't realize one of the bedrooms was just had a bed going in the closet
I live in such a town. You could buy a gorgeous mid century style home for less than that. It's very close to one of the best universities in the county. There is an Amtrak station that is 2hrs from a major city. It's only a 2hr drive to two other major cities. A lot of nice bike paths. It's in a large blue state. Only 15-20 minutes to a mid sized city Fiber Internet is available. Cons: Schools aren't the best, because there is quite a bit of poverty because it's a low cost of living area. Property taxes are quite high. So if you don't have kids it is a decent place to live. You could also move out of city limits where you're outside of the school district as that is the majority of property taxes.
Sounds incredible. Where?
Literally like 50% of the US. The further out you go, the lower the cost of property and houses gets. The issue is living that far out of town. My parents manage to do it, I couldn't.
Basically the country.
I want to go to there!
