I just bought a shit hole for just over $300k. One of these days I will even get some pics up of it. 

Yah...but I bet income is a bit higher where homes are that expensive.

I'll probably stick around this area til I die.  Incomes are good and cost of living is cheap.  I just need to grab a nice plot of land...subdivisions popping up everywhere in the country, property value going up every year.

My house still its as it did when I packed all the shit up and sat outside. I dont need much, computer room/bowflex, footon, flat screen, and appliances and I'm good to go. I'm rarely home and I rather keep my garage and fridge stocked with stuff I like. But slowly refinishing what was left unfinished.

Damn nice projects, wish I had one.
For ~250k in Alabamy you can build this:
Front yard

that's a 250k home here, with 5 acres.

It is when the oil and gas market is up, when it is down like right now not so much.

Lots of foreclosures, from rig pigs that are off work, avg house price has dropped by over $60K in the last two years, it is why I bought now, as things are a cheap as they will ever get, and oil and gas are showing signs of life again.

Jyrc, funny thing is that they bought a 5 acre lot with it . Not all of it is cleared, but i'd estimate 3 acres are.

Dvst8r - yah, bout the same here.  It's not hard to find a decent brick 3br home with around an acre lot and 2 car garage for under 100k

I need to get a project home...and a garage would be fucking tits as I'd be able to get a lot more work done.  Today, its fucking snowing AGAIN and i wont get shit done.

Things might be different in Canada, but the US housing market isn't at bottom yet. Within 9 months millions of foreclosures are going to be hitting the market.

Wanna venture a guess as to what's going to happen?

Franklin, you need many things, but thinner walls isn't one of them.  Does the house currently, or had in the past, provisions for being moved via it's own axles? 

JYR- if you do some exterior work, make those overhangs bigger.  Even extending them another4 or 6 inches will make the house look 1 million times better, for very little time and monies

That is the result of phone + low light + lens covered in pocket lint

I don't know what switches turn on what and didn't feel like figuring it out.

I hear ya on that. Not sure exactly what I want to do in that aspect. Its more of a "what kind of return will I get on the investment" frame of mind I have on this house, rather than...what do I want with it. Know what I mean? 

In that picture...where the window is, I have a pella sliding glass door. Totally forgot to mention that. -that will make a nice opening to the backyard, rather than running through the entire house, and through the garage to get to the yard. Also right outside of that is a stone pad I built for my grill.

Apple Valley, behind Bogarts (Cedar/142). The building itself looks like the projects, and probably is, but with a first floor sliding door entry (in front of the pool), he won't need to walk down the ghetto/military style dorm hall that is beyond his front door.
