There's an auction listing for 11k. It's been on the market for about 700 days with houses in the area listed for 157k.
Hey if post pics of the house I can eye ball it for you, and if I see problems visually, I can explain what I'm looking at and why.
Thanks so much! There's a couple listings I'm considering. Would you mind if I DM you the links in a bit?
Yeah that's cool.
@SamanthaM it's entirely possible that a place like that has something critically wrong with it that the professionals see, but you don't
700 days is a long time for a house that underpriced to sit
Aye
Foundation, termite damage, mold, structural.
All good points. Definitely looking for second/third opinions on this. I have a current max budget of 30k and about a year or so to make a decision. Thank you. Very appreciative of any help.

@RevStench now's our chance
Hahah I was going to say the same thing
I like where your mind is

Pack your tools, bro, we're going to Pennsylvania
@SamanthaM just jokes, btw
Wouldn't mind at all. Need all the help I can get.
@SamanthaM buy a duplex or a Triplex. Live in the worst unit, and fix it up as you go. You will live rent-free for as long as you live there. Any multi-unit should leave at least one unit as cash flow. Does that make sense?
@Deleted User I see where you're going with that, but what if the neighbors are terrible. Won't that devalue the property?
Also it should be somewhere that will last at least 10-15 years.
FHA requires one year occupancy. Set a 3-year plan of living rent-free, improve the worst unit up to a point or someone will rent it for the going rate, then move out and buy your house.
And by landlord I mean you own all of the units and you just live in one of them.
It's a good idea, let me think about it for a bit.
Any questions feel free.
Tons of questions. Currently flipping through options in the area.
Well, what did you find?
@SamanthaM any interesting follow-up?
Yes and no. Thinking about a nice fixer-upper near my parents house.
However, some life events are in flux so its looking more difficult to commit to a particular area.
Are Redwings as good as some say they are?
Yes
If you like walking on clouds and a lifetime of quality
I am more impressed with my new pair of wolverines than I am any other steel toe work boot I've had in recent years. [including redwings]
My pair of redwings have zero cushioning. I only bought them because I needed steel toe boots for work asap. I replaced the insoles with the fattest ones they had to make it better. I
Danner! Mine are like walking on clouds

Our ancestors didnโt need inserts in their work boots. ๐คจ
Our ancestors also died with hips that didn't work
Utilize modern conveniences, guys. We weren't meant to walk on hard surfaces all day, so if you want to have all your original joints at 60, take care of them
