As college looms I'm looking at relatively cheap houses that I could go in on with some friends, so we may have good living conditions and not shit dorms.
This one looks like a shit hole, yes, but appears to have been foreclosed upon and look at that yard you could build another fuckin house over there. $25,000? Adjacent to the highway for over-the-river-to-Mpls access (this is in St. Paul)? That basement could be a top-notch Warhammer room with a little work. And for $12,500 assuming I went in on it with a friend, that's practically saving money on dorm rooming for 4 years anyway plus it's a whole house (albeit kind of small. all the more reason to get out). little paint here and there and it'd be the fuckin place to be
Pretty nice, go for it Snorkel.
I will probably stay in the dorms for the first 2 years. Idk, I guess it will just be part of the college experience.
now if you move there.
i'll know where you live..
so i'm going to come rape you..
wait I linked to the wrong house.
here's the $25,000 one: http://www.edinarealty.com/Listing/ListingDetail.aspx?listing=34844252&Popup=1

I was going to say that the first house was pretty expensive for $25,000 anyway. n_u
If you want to go for it, sure, I just hope your first plans for it are repainting the exterior.
I don't think you can build another house without some kind of permit
as long as it doesn't mean huge debt, follow your dreams!

If I had to pay 12 grand I could put down half up front and pay the rest within 6 months, it'd be awesome
You wouldn't find a house in CT anywhere near $25K
Cheapest thing you'll find here is probably closer to 100-125

How about actually outside of NYC. akudood;
If I just said "lol boston" then you'd be looking at 500k for a condo, I don't even know how much houses are.
In our town the city won't let a bunch of unrelated students buy a house to use as a dorm. Someone's grandma did that and the city evicted them. I think that is a bunch of bull shit. baddood;

I think the cheapest house on Long Island is about 400, though that has probably changed since the market has been getting better.

Queens has cheaper. So does Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island.
What the fuck is your point?
The 5 boroughs = NYC, and he asked for outside of NYC.
Oh I thought he was saying houses are too expensive in NYC.

400K for a pile of garbage
lol inflated home prices
Have you visited the home?
Just remember Snorkel, buying something like that isn't a good investment unless it's in a good neighborhood and you can fix it up. I bet it will be quite hard to sell.
Either way not too shabby for a first house. I'd try it.

what
we get mosquitos all the time
Upstate New York probably has some cheap housing

in minnesota towns and cities often use a mosquito-killing spray since we have such a huge problem with the nasty little things up here due to all the damn water
so snorkel is right about no mosquitos in bigger towns and cities in mn
baudette still gets some
