Under $30k is incredibly cheap by global standards. I just looked at Poland, and that'll only get you either garages or building plots. $37k produces some actual living spaces: https://en.arkadia.com/oezt-t5136/ https://en.arkadia.com/oezt-t5136/ https://en.arkadia.com/oezt-t1434/ https://en.arkadia.com/oezt-t1434/ Romania looks a little cheaper, but not much. Russia, on the other hand, has some (for the handyman) deals: https://en.arkadia.com/jhnu-t439863/ https://en.arkadia.com/jhnu-t439863/ or even a (no picture?) condo in Sochi for under $30k: https://en.arkadia.com/ca-t203634/ https://en.arkadia.com/ca-t203634/ Scenic Chelyabinsk runs a bit more expensive: https://en.arkadia.com/for-sale/chelyabinsk-g446921/?orderby=total_sale_price+desc https://en.arkadia.com/for-sale/chelyabinsk-g446921/?orderby... (sorry, couldn't find any sale listings for Magadan, but even if you're not a guest of the state, rents look cheap out there)

Here are some in Michigan: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/43732-Tanager_Clinton-Township_MI_48036_M96296-48913 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/43732-Tana... https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/822-Cour-Marie-St_Warren_MI_48091_M98028-62470 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/822-Cour-M... Here is one in Wisconsin: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1000-S-108th-St-Lot-C2_West-Allis_WI_53214_M92345-68678 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1000-S-108... Here is one in Ohio: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5702-Angola-Rd-Lot-272_Toledo_OH_43615_M38287-20920 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5702-Angol... They are all over the place. While a mobile home isn’t the most people’s first choice, and the value won’t go up like a home on a foundation, it certainly seems better than living in a car. Lot rent still needs to be paid, but that is going to be much cheaper than apartment rent. I glanced at a couple lot rents when looking around and it was around $500/month. These were just some around $30k that looked pretty decent where most people wouldn’t mind moving in. I saw some as low as $1,500, but they looked like they needed some love. I think new models are around $70k or so, but I think they lose a lot of value the first few years, kind of like a car. While it may not be someone’s forever home, using it as a way to have an address, stay off the streets, and save money to afford something else, seems like a decent option. It would be worth driving around the park at various times of the day before buying one to see what the vibe is like. They can vary a lot. Some can be pretty bad, but I stayed in one for several months when I was young with a friend of the family. It was really nice inside and the park it was in seemed safe.

  I lived a few years in a double wide and it was much nicer than some of the places I'd had as a student.
