Why Indiana, if you don't mind me asking?
Plenty of sub-$25k options here in Joplin, MO.
Wife's set on it. Low property taxes, liberal gun laws (well, liberal in the non-political sense), no no-knock raids. I don't really give a damn, personally, so long as it's cheap & secluded. I don't intend to warrant a no-knock raid or apply for a concealed-carry permit, and property taxes are a difference of maybe $200/yr at this price range (MI vs. IN), so....Plenty of sub-$25k options here in Joplin, MO.
- And with that said: Wife refuses to live in MI again. She changes her mind every few days, so if you have something to offer, PM me and I'll show it to her within a week after her mind's changed again. If IN, she'd definitely live there.

$5-15k if you look in more urban areas isn't unheard of. MI land/houses are particularly cheap if you're not in a particularly prestigious area. Aunt/Uncle selling a house in good shape in a tiny city for $32k, but not private. Typically, houses under $30k with a bit of land have some problems where you need to have a new well dug, or replace the furnace to get a occupancy permit - or in the "buyer really ought to be paid to take the house" category, you'll have something like extreme water damage. It's odd I can't find houses with severe "surface damage" (carpeting & subflooring needs to be replaced, deck's falling apart, drywall needs to be replaced), but only those needing tons of money dumped in to get a permit from the gov't.
