With all the wisdom and enlightening of mgb’s posts, no wonder why everyone got sold on this one:
with 65k a year you will have a hard time buying a house anywhere in the USA
The median home price in the US is 230K. By definition it means that half of all homes sell below that mark. And as we know, right now the median is distorted upwards.
3-second google search will give you any number of perfectly fine homes under 100K or even 50K in any continental US state. (although, I’ve got to admit that the majority of them are located somewhat east of I-5)
