Buying for $30K

Homes for a song: For sale for $30,000 or less
By Christopher Solomon of MSN Real Estate

Think you can't afford to buy a house? Think again.

Thanks to the Great Recession and the titanic tanking of the real-estate market, some shockingly cheap property is up for sale. If you're willing to relocate – OK, sometimes really relocate – and to put in a lot of sweat equity, you can buy a home for as little as $30,000 in markets as diverse as Lansing, Mich., and Miami.

At late October's national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 3.94%, a full loan on a $30,000 home would amount to just $173.44 per month. That's far cheaper than renting.

With help from our partner Realtor.com, we've found a dozen properties around the nation. Admittedly, most aren't in the next hip neighborhood, and all need some TLC. But if you're looking for an investment or a starter home, this could be the ticket.

NOTE: All descriptive information is courtesy of listing agents. Properties were on the market and listed as available at the time of publication, unless noted otherwise.

How is Craigslist Working?

Craigslist is one of the top lead sources for most of our customers. Why should you use an ad creation and posting tool? Two reasons.

First, you can't manage what you can't measure, and Craigslist doesn't measure anything. Unless you can track leads back to specific postings, you can't tell which titles or designs are best. You also can't tell if your ads are getting "ghosted". You're flying blind.

Second, it's easier. Writing ads, posting them and adhering to a schedule is a lot of work. The Posting Tool makes it as easy!

2009 Recovery Act.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009.

It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.

Why is midtown a great selection for buying now?

The location of Midtown Residences should continue to capture the observed young professional urbanite, who seeks a habitat location that includes day and night activities without the need for auto transportation for shopping and entertainment. Midtown's location enjoys access to major roadways to Miami's employment centers and to Miami Beach.

The exclusive Shops at Midtown were developed by Developers Diversified Realty, who developed and leased retail space to the following major tenants including: Target, Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls, Loemans, West Elm, and Petsmart, along with a variety of other national and local retailers, plus a unique variety of restaurants lounges and entertainment.

Adjacent to the north of Midtown is the "Miami Design District," the location of a variety of designer showrooms, galleries, media companies and wholesalers.

The Wynwood Arts District (located southwest from N.W. 36th Street to N.W. 20th Street) continues transitioning from warehousing to the emerging location of art galleries, studios, private art collections and boutique restaurants.

International Investment Buyers for the Downtown and Brickell area.

One of the reason that some developers are jumping back on board to build on the Miami Skyline is downtown Miami's growing population along with a decrease in overall construction costs. The developers are pointing out that at least on paper, the inventory is shrinking quickly. The aftershocks of the last boom are still lingering, but developers are once again buying up land to erect new condos.
