A post I made on another thread got me to thinking about low priced homes that are actually suitable for someone to live in and where such homes might be found. I'm not talking about the ones that are "handyman specials" or in imminent danger of structural collapse, or in areas where gunfire at night is normal, but suitable to just buy and move into with little to no preparation and are actually affordable for someone who has an average or below-average income.
So at random I picked Clay County, WV in the middle of the state that is a low income area and searched for SF homes. This would be about a four hour drive from where we are. Here is a set of listings I found on trulia.com https://www.trulia.com/for_sale/37....81.371663438262,-79.262288438262_xy/9_zm/2_p/
And this is one listing that at $39.9k asking price from the photos looks to be in move-in condition, although admittedly not the prettiest house I've ever seen. https://www.trulia.com/property/3269299705-3697-Summerlee-Rd-Oak-Hill-WV-25901
Nice to know that if TSHTF we can still afford to buy a SF house!
Closer to where we live the cheapest I found was $89.9k https://www.homesnap.com/WV/Gerrardstown/36-Almond-Trail
So - are there affordable SF houses in your location or do you know where they might be found?
