That's right, 20 Gs...
As a digital nomad and therefore someone who can work from anywhere in the world, recently I was curious about really "affordable" homes and what they look like, I am refering to under $20,000 affordable. Okay, "stupid cheap". While these homes are not much compared to the average homes on the market, in some places they are surprisignly cozy looking.
Under $20,000 homes are not created equal, for example the warmer climate ones seemed to be a lot more appealing in multiple ways. A few general rules apply to sub $20k homes: You better like zip codes in the middle of nowhere, carports, typically small square footage, and in some cases–dilapidation. See for yourself.
