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.
