I don't blame others for this shit

Yeah, but after the crash, loans became irrelevant. I purchased a house formerly valued at $95,000 for WELL under $10,000.

I paid cash.

It's not that difficult. You can't even GET a home loan for that low an amount.

can't get a loan from a bank that wouldn't trust you to make coffee

congrats

where'd you find a home for $10k?

I live in the Rust Belt.

mmhm

OH? MI?

decent homes around me are 30k atm, large plots in the country are 100k

AP is running the story that Corsi will, indeed, be indicted

Man, lesson not to let weak little shits do business with you

their mere association with you will be a burden

Mhmm....sure, but I now own a Victorian home that has regained it's former value and in the interrim, I put an additional $27,000 in value into with reno....Still at a cost under $30,000 total, including historic feature reinstallation and custom work.

cool

@Mr.McKinley serious on that though. When your credit score is a dumpster fire, you have a quarter million debt that garnishes any future wages you may get, you have no social skills beyond screaming nazi at random people and you couldn't hold a job at gunpoint without having a sjw breakdown from all the stuff offending you... banks really don't want to loan them anything

There are some places which have grants for moving

I think there's a program in Tulsa right now

I could get a plot and put something simple on it

I want something basically cabin sized, to live the next five to seven years

So trash the Rust Belt all you want, it just sounds silly to me. People trash me for my region of origin all the time (Apparently being Southern means "ignorant, inbred hillbilly", online too regardless of educational and professional achievements

is somebody trashing the rust belt here?

the rust belt handed Trump the white house

I view that as a positive development

you mean... they voted for him?

yes

nobody hands anyone the white house

ohio went almost 100% red

lol

yeah

ohio, michigan, wisconsin

democrats still holding out hope in Cleveland town

Oklahoma is a GREAT state. That land prices are great, and building codes are more lax than other coastal states/urban high-density areas.

@Mr.McKinley that's what I was thinking

and I might be able to get a grant, which could take most of the cost out of the land purchase on its own

Do it. Buy now while the prices are still comparatively low.

got my own house near an amish area. affordable and I get my food from nearby farms

Me too!

Yeah, I want to have a home that's worth relatively little in terms of resale, on a plot which could be repurposed after sale
