Kijiky,

What are the tems to qualify for a first time buyer to be granted 12k towards downpayment? (I am a service member and in Alaska but looking for my 1st home once I get out of the army). Do you have to be a resident for a period of time first? Any links would be appreciated. Thank you.

It’s not a scam. Real Estate has gone down significantly with the economy being so depressed. There are many towns that have houses for less than 10 grand. I’ve found a lot of them in Syracuse for example. The trade off is this: They are usually very old homes which most people dont want (something I actually prefer)and need work. If that’s something you can take care of than it can be a great investment for when the market goes back up and save you money as opposed to bleeding money into renting an inferior place in expensive areas such as NYC.

Your full of shit and a liar- why would you lie about something like that? There is nothing i n Tokyo under $200,000 and that is for what they call non-rebuildable where you can only reform the old building that is there. Unless you are talking about Tokyo -to and not the city. Like New York state. I live in Suginami. Hardwood floors? really are you sure they are not composite wood? You’re full of crap. Prices in Tokyo are really cheap compared to most world cities for property but nothing and I mean nothing, not even a parking space will cost you $49,000. Add a zero then I will believe you. tell us the exact address please including chome , ku etc.

taxes here are 1450 this year my house is worth 75,000 . I paid 59,000 in 2004. Theres some great deals here .still you cana find fixer uppers for 10,000 and it will need new plumbing for sure. some one bought a house for 10,000 but had to put 20,000 into it to make it livable. Its big ITS A 5 BED ROOM 2 BATH HOUSE large lot big house . mine is 3 bedrooms 1 bath corner lot and fenced back yard large front yARD. BASMENT CAN BE MADE INTO 2 MORE BEDROOMS . SO IT WOULD be a 5 bedroom house but a bathroom would have to be added up stairs or in the basement and kitchen has to made bigger . but living in the cold North Dakota . I am wondering is there any where warm with very low prices and low taxes ?

The sad part is that most of us in Michigan can’t afford to snap up these amazing house deals for $10,000 or less because we just don’t have $10,000:-(

I have been looking at houses in this price range also as I am writing a financial literacy curriculum for teens. Springfield, Ohio seems hard hit too.

Jim – interestingly, that row house in Baltimore actually appears in Season 3 – Episode 1 of the Wire, just over 35 minutes in. I have it at 35:50.

I thought that was a pretty neat coincidence.

I’d have to wonder how safe the neighborhoods are.
