Occasionally TV shows such as "A current Affair" have talked about towns where you can get ahouse for $10,000 or less.
I remember one featured town where you could purchase a house block for one dollar. Only catch was you had to start biulding your house within two years.
You could get a house on the New England highway north of Armadale for only $20,000 twenty years ago--I do forget the name of that town-- we considered it ourselves back then.
These were towns where every one moved away, and they looked like becoming Ghost towns. And so the locals were promoting these towns to try to keep the town going.
Good luck in finding the right one. I do think buying a cheap house is better idea than renting, John.
