    Man I’m in the same boat. I bought a short sale condo during the housing collapse and I’m selling it now to buy a house…150k for a down payment and I can’t find SHIT I can afford.

    I want a 2-3 bedroom house with enough room for a workshop (meaning a basement or 2-car garage) and ANY sized yard. The only ones I can find within an hour radius are 100k too expensive or need 100k in work.

      If you’re the kind of person who wants a workshop, “need 100k in work” might be a trade-off you should make.

        I do small stuff unfortunately, not construction lol

        I WISH I could laser cut or resin print a structurally-stable house
