Cheap Homes For Sale

Cheap Homes

Yes there are some really cheap houses out there. In this economy, it isn't a surprise that many people who have recently lost their jobs are motivated to sell their home fast and for a large discount. That's just one of the reasons cheap homes are available. Then there is the fact that some towns are just plain cheap. You'll find examples of some of the most inexpensive towns in Chapter Three of my book. One of them has homes priced at under $30,000 right now. In Chapter Four, you'll learn exactly how to find your own ideal town with affordable housing. If you plan on getting a new home and want to save even more on home and car insurance, be sure to do research and see what offers are out there.

Great news! The book is now free! I wrote it around 2005, and updated it only occasionally over the years, so parts are a bit dated--no more no-doc and interest-only loans, for example. It's no longer for sale, but since it's still packed with valuable info, I put it here on this site. Start with the introduction and the links to all pages here: Cheap Homes for Sale

Cheap Home Our Story - My wife and I drove around the country for seven weeks in 2002, looking for a new home towns. We bought the house in the photo here (full basement, garage, hardwood floors, sun room), in a wonderful mountain town in Montana for $17,500, and later sold it for a profit. During our search, we found many great towns with affordable homes. Of course not everyone can move wherever they want, so I researched how to buy a home for less anywhere, and decided to share these valuable lessons. That's why I wrote "Cheap Homes" I know you'll enjoy it, and when you use the information, it will save you thousands of dollars. - Steve Gillman
