Sounds like you're dancing around simply not being able to do it. I'm a logical creature, if I saw something that cheap with the level of quality I described, I'd certainly jump on it.

Some people want caviar even if they can only afford ramen
If you live in California, there ya go.
Do you mean buying and renting out so you have a cashflow from the tenants? It was very popular here a few years ago. Everyone seemed to be a wannabe 'property magnate', and I have done it on a small scale with my old apartment. I'm not a fan personally on the basis that the laws here are very very weighted in favour of the tenant. Basically, if you get a bad tenant or if they just stop paying rent it's really hard to get them out. obviously, this may not be the case elsewhere.
hahaha how did I know automatically that you lived in California... so predictable.Sounds like you're dancing around simply not being able to do it.

I think you're confused. Someone else said they have a 100k house with 2 bed and 1 bath, and I assumed it was a meth den because of the price. I live in a condo on the beach. How did you know automatically that I live here? Because I told you. It would be a cold day in hell before I live in Norman, Oklahoma, or any part of Texas.hahaha how did I know automatically that you lived in California... so predictable.
Look buddy, throw a dart at a map of the United States and in the majority of cases, you'll hit an area where houses are more affordable than the tax farm you live in now.
If your budget is really so low as to need a home in the $100k range, here are some options (but I know you will poo-poo them as not a "decent" area)
Decent homes, all in the $100,000 range:
Then if you go up to $300,000, wow you can get a brand new house that's really nice!
^ beautiful house in a great area for $300k, basically brand new
Unlike paying $1 million in Cali for a tiny cottage
I mean honestly, this house would barely scrape $100,000 in my area and it's listed at a million!!
This house is old, needs to be remodeled, and it's tiny!
$1 million California shack that's falling apart:
California was my first guess.
Im not from California, I'm from a shitty town in upstate NY. I had to work hard to make it here. I don't think most people should live in California, mostly because of COL. I haven't lived in OK or TX, but I have lived in FL, and know enough about the south to be confident in my assessment.
So, what's your alternative?
Well, you don't like real estate. What are you going to do as an investor?
I don't think I said that I didn't like real estate. My response was that - in response to the OP's question - I wouldn't buy somewhere here in the UK which is where I live just because I didn't want to rent. That's not the same thing!
