There are houses on www.realtor.com about the same amount..in many areas of country....OH well.
Heck, there’s 60+ 2 bedroom condos for sale in Las Vegas for under $35,000. And that place is ALWAYS hiring entry level workers. One of the cheapest places to live!
New home, monthly costs (including food - if you eat wisely at the casinos) of under $300 per month. And you bet you can find a job that will pay $10-$12/hour without much trouble at all...
