Here's another batch of homes under 200,000 proving once again that there are many deals to be had and many affordable homes to be had if you look at this first one. This is in Townsend Georgia, it's a new construction home three two uh 179 well under 200,000. This is a property that would be a good starter home or maybe even if you're moving and you want to get a home in an area that you're relocating to just to see how the area is, get a new house with very little maintenance and a low cost second house.

We'll look at this is jumping around a little bit, we're down in Carabelle Florida which is a really nice coastal town again. It's a um it's a two bedroom two bath about a thousand square feet also under two hundred thousand dollars but in a coastal area um near East Point uh also close to Apalachicola which is probably the biggest town. Updated uh kitchen granite counter top stainless steel appliances.

Jump to this next house in Pennsylvania, this is well under 200,000 decent-sized house right, this is a looks like a split level Milford PA be close to metro areas like if you have to get to New York City or you have to get to New Jersey you're not you know too far out in the country. This is 169, it's a lot of house for 169.

Uh last one we'll look at, this is a really cheap house this is 142 this in Canton Texas which is in the general vicinity of Austin San Antonio. So if you're relocating to Texas for one of the tech jobs and you want to get into something that's cheap without having to know the area and you know blindly buy an expensive home that might be turned out to not be what you want, here's a really nice clean looking house double carport utility room um the property is a thousand square feet just like the other ones uh it says here it's in a gem neighborhood so it seems like it's in a good area.

So again it's another reminder that there's plenty of houses and the market that are cheap, you don't have to spend a lot of money to get into the real estate market and once you're in if the property values increase you're locked into being a homeowner where you can apply the increase on your existing property to move up later and possibly build some equity in the home that you have. If it needs some minor repairs or minor updating you can put that elbow grease in and make some money through appreciation and when you sell it and then maybe get a bigger house or more expensive house as the needs arise.
