Yes, You Can Buy a Decent Home for $10,000 or Less

Well, one of them is actually listed for $95,000. It RENTS for $1,200 (a month)

There are a lot worse places than Ohio... places where people can't spell Cincinnati. That city is terrible though.

Show me one in Los Angeles.

I looked into this 2 yrs ago, and there are TONS of curb aesthetically pleasing homes VERY cheap. The problem is that these houses are really trashed inside. You say "No problem, I'll live in the best room, and slowly fix up the place!" Not gonna happen, and this is half of what wrong with this country. The local govt has their own set of rules, that says you have to rewire, or re-roof, pay for all these permits etc. NOW. As soon as they see a home sold, they're on you like flies, making sure your not living there until the place is up to THEIR code. Be careful, make phone calls, and take names/numbers if you venture into this!

This is what happens when democrats run a city for ever. Lost home values, no jobs and crime everywhere. Just look at the democrats Community Reinvestment Act for the root cause of the housing bust! period!

Places like Cleveland and Detroit are just awful dumps. However, there are fabulous deals in great neighborhoods in both Las Vegas and all over FL. I've seen oceanfront homes in perefct shape for under $60,000, and in land lakefront homes for under $40,000. I live in suburban NYCity, taxes are high, lifestyle very poor, and social unrest and unionism everywhere. Saving grace is jobs are available, but at such high cost.

is this real estate in 2011 or are we going back to the 1950's?

I bought a 6 acre farm with an old run down house with no plumbing for 58k in central Pa amongst large farms owned by amish and mennonites. I am a vietnam veteran and it worked for me. I may never get indoor plumbing but i grew my own food and have canned about 16 cases so far. I think if your going to buy something get something away from the cities with land to have a garden and fruit trees. I burn firewood and my electric bill averages 14.00 a month. I have a well and a creek and a spring in my basement. Lots of clean air here and clean water way south of the fracking 4 counties north of me. I did have to put down 12k which i saved as a caregiver getting free rent and food during that time. I have just 9 yrs left on my 10 yrs mortgage. Oh well i hope you all find your dream at whatever price you can afford. :)
PS: don't listen to that republican jokester above.. he is a angry person.

You really can buy a home for 10K and less in many parts of this country; and the areas really are not as bad as everyone makes them sound. Appeal to the people living in that area.

Seems like a really nice home. JG-
