You realize how much debt you're putting yourself into? Make sure you get something you can afford. In my area, there are homes going for less than 50k. Nothing really wrong with them, just bad owners like you making bad financial decisions. No disrespect.

in my area rent is so high that I either pay someone elses mortgage and have nothing at the end of the day. condos/townhomes are in the 120k+ range. I might find a half way decent house for 150+ but I will need to put a lot of work into it. Some mobile homes are in the 100k+ range here... probably getting a condo

wow, they dont just hand those out to anyone

Don't know too much, but just be sure to have any home inspected. Also, those mass produced subdivision homes can have quality issues because they are made cheap and quick as possible. Be aware of how very very bad even the slightest lead paint is in older homes. And don't spend $100k on a fucking mobile home.

fortunately I am an electrician, lead and asbestos certified, and have spent some time actually building track homes... I'd rather have one of those than something with knob and tube wiring or that horrible aluminum wiring from the 60-70s.
