There Are Still Homes For $10,000!Written by Steve Gillman
How do you find a house for ten or twenty thousand dollars? In three steps: 1. Find towns that are affordable. 2. Find houses you like. 3. Make an offer. 1. Affordable Towns Altoona, Pennsyvania still had dozens of homes for sale for less than $30,00 when I checked today. The cheapest one is listed for $7,500. As photo on our site shows, this is a cute little town, yet still big enough to have everything you need. Hot Springs, Arkansas has houses under $20,000, cheapest at moment being $13,500. Alamogordo, New Mexico is a town we like a lot, and it still has homes for sale under $30,000. Independence, Kansas has really inexpensive homes. Prices start under $10,000! 2. Affordable Homes To find houses that are for sale in these towns and others, you can look up their local newspapers online, and check out classifieds. You can find a local real estate agent online too, and give them a call. One of best resources, though, is probably www.Realtor.com, where you can search any town for homes listed by price, number of bedrooms, and many other criteria.
