its a foreclosure, its old (built 1905 ish), its probably beat up as all hell, but its a 1.5 story house with 3 bedrooms, a basement, and a garage. for only $17,000.
i dont have anywhere to live, and i definately have the money to go out and buy the fucker, and who knows if it aint total shit, i could even make some money on it.
what do ya all think, this is a picture of it
if i financed it, with nothing down, i would have to pay only $124 a month to own the thing.
now that just seems to me that its a hell of a lot better than paying rent, or being a bum with no home.

Go for it. Definitely. Some people spend more than that on a car.

check out the plumbing, the electric, and make sure there aren't any termite problems. if everything works at least somewhat, and it's not about to collapse, buy the fucker.
you could rent out a couple rooms to friends for really cheap and still make money every month.

yeah, its a mile off of a college campus.
im definately considering it an investment.
i am as a matter of fact, a realestate developer, although i have never actually worked with houses before.
regardless im one hell of a handy man (even have a merit badge in home repair ) and im sure i could rehab it and flip it if it wasnt too bad.

That sounds awesome, go for it (unless it has serious irrepairable issues).

good luck getting insurance on that thing, much less a good interest rate from the bank, that is pretty rough. If you have enough to buy it outright, do that and get a signature or general purpose loan and fix it up. The lot of land she sits on is prolly worth the 17k.

Yeah, that's not bad at all so long as there's nothing terribly wrong with it. Buy it now, do some handiwork and fix the place up, then if/when you're ready to step up to a new house you can make a tidy profit on this one

17k is cheap, but it looks like a really big shed that would blow over

have someone inspect it. if it checks out, buy it!
Even if you end up finding something better later on, you can definitely make more than 5 times your monthly payment if you rent it out.

you should see our place. We're moving out this Friday and it's been a crack den for several months now, with party people coming and crashing all the time, until I came back up from college and told them all to get the fuck out and fuck off. Every time there was a party at our house, I just stole all their ufcking alcohol and abused the piss out of them because I hated them being at my house al the time.
It got to a point where everyone was convinced we actually had a meth lab out in the shed because we joked about it so much (meth is a big joke for us)
also, we have a full sized pirate flag on our TV antenna and another miniture pirate flag on our letter box.
Still a nice place, though and our landlords love us...
maybe it's because we supply them with meth
