About ten years ago in some of the rust belt you could buy a house for under twenty - Detroit comes to mind. Some of the sales had conditions that you tear down the structure and agree not to build so that city services could be removed from the town’s budget. There are still deals all over to be had - I’ve long thought it would be fun to have an Instagram of what $1m or less could buy in different parts of the country. I’ve found things like 200 acres / waterfront and numerous structures in Maine and the UP in Michigan. It all depends on your perspective of a “good deal.” But the days on the $50k house going for $2k are long gone.
