Are you actually an American citizen born & raised here or an immigrant?

I'm born and raised, but my family lives on disability so basically my only assets are my very modest investment accounts.

You can find pretty reasonable housing in most US cities apart from SF, NYC, and DC. And, if you want to essentially live for free, you can househack a duplex, tri, or quad.

Which city are you in?

Cheapest thing is going to be to buy a dilapidated home. One that needs to be gutted.

You can get these for 50k to 70k. Meaning your mortgage will only be about $500 a month.

Then spend a few days every month fixing it up.

In a year you should have a decent home, which you can live in, or sell at a profit.

As long as the foundation is solid and the carpentry is solid you are good to go.

The question from here now is location/land/rent situations . I heard u need 30% down on land. Is this true ? Are there loopholes?

I tried buying land that was 30k . (The guy wanted full price ) I had 15k at the time and needed 15k loan, bank wouldn't give to me. I'm 20. What gives?

I don't know if this is legit, but hell, a bungalow for this cheap? If it's real then god it's nice. If you have a car then you can travel to city for groceries and etc. Many people travel 30-50 min where I am to work and etc so. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/overseas-property/property-57996253.html

This is a bad decision. Move into a mobile home, they're available for $20k for the smallest ones but $40k will get you a 1,000 square foot mobile home, no fixing up necessary.

That's not an outright price, that's a monthly payment. $1,150 a month. Still not bad.

Your credit must be pretty rough. I got a $40k car loan with a credit score of 700, which is good but it's not exemplary or anything. Check your score on creditkarma

The banks don't like raw land.

You can't really 'foreclose' on land. There's no incentive for a 'flipper'.

These are a meme.
/DIY/ has regular threads about SC fails.
Also they're toxic as fuck, there's a global oversupply of old containers this is where the meme for housing originates
