Reply #14: I bought a 50-year-old 4-bedroom home for 108,000. [View All]

I'm surprised as all hell that I was able to get it, considering 4 bedroom is 4 bedroom no matter what the age. But it's just as I was talking about in this thread; the 1200 sq/ft home is no longer in vogue even as a starter house and builders just aren't going for "modest" any more. Granted, my home needs work, and we're getting a lot done, but it's just amazing how no one wanted homes like these when they were available.

My house is relatively easy to clean and keep up and my mortgage payment is a breeze compared to the 4-digit monthly income-suckers people are saddled with to pay for that McCastle they feel the need to have.
