Well, reasonable here is actually about $80-140k. There are of course houses that are much more expensive, and then the trailer parks. The $40k house is, in my opinion, less of a house and more of a thing. It's like a box of nightmares you can walk inside. I really don't know why she texted it to me, because she must know I'd be opposed to it from the get go.

We did though, almost luck out and tried to get our hands on a really nice house for about $55k a year or so back. The person who owned it was underwater and was trying to sell it quick. We were very impressed by it. Unfortunately, the bank he owed to seized it and turned around to put it back on the market for over twice that price. That sucked, for him and us.
